THE
THE NEW JERUSALEM
SUSTAINED BY THE RIVER OF LIFE
WITH THE TREE OF LIFE
At the end of the
Bible we see the consummation of the tree of life-the New Jerusalem. In the center of this
city we see the river of life, which proceeds out of the throne of God and the Lamb, and
in which rows the tree of life that bears fruit every month (Rev. 22:1-2). Our destiny and
our portion for eternity will be the enjoyment of the tree of life
and the water of life. The Bible concludes with a promise and a call. The promise is found
in Revelation 22:14 which says, "Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they
may have right to the tree of life." The call is found in Revelation 22:17 which
says, "He who wills, let him take the water of life freely." Thus, the whole
Bible ends with eating and drinking, with enjoying God as the tree of life and with
drinking Him as the water of life. This is the consummation of the line of life.
What should we do today? We should not do anything. We should simply stay on the line of
the tree of life, enjoying God as our life and as our life supply. God will take care of
everything. Out of the enjoyment of the Lord as our life supply, we will have our daily
life, walk, work, and the building up of the churches. Then everything we have will be
according to God's divine element, not according to our own concepts. Now we see the way
we must take. May the Lord have mercy on us that we all may continue on the line of life.
