In Johnโs vision, the redeemed stretch beyond the horizon, a vastย multitude as far as the eye can see. They wear white robes, washedย clean in the blood of the Lamb. They carry palm branches, symbols of victory and celebration. They unite in a single cry: โTo our God and to the Lamb, we owe our salvation!โ They know their deliverance rests on God and the redemptive activity of His Son.ย
This great assembly, as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the shore, fulfills Godโs ancient promise to Abrahamโthat through him, all nations would be blessed (Genesis 12:3).ย
It also completes Christโs Great Commission. Jesus commanded usย to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19), and we see the result of our obedience in this scene. Godโs redemptive plan, foreshadowed in Danielโs visionโโAnd to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve himโ (Daniel 7:14)โhas reached its glorious culmination.ย
The vision is not only a glimpse of the future but also a summons toย the present. We have not yet finished our task of reaching the nations. People groups remain unreached. The gospel must cross borders and take root where Christ is unknown. The certainty of Godโs mission fuels our urgency. Because we know the outcome, we go forward with confidence.ย
Revelation 7:9โ10 reminds us that the mission will not fail. God willย complete what He began. The gospel will reach the ends of the earth. This certainty does not make our role unnecessaryโit makes itย meaningful. The God who sovereignly accomplishes His plan calls usย to participate in it. He sends us to speak, labor, and give, knowing thatย one day, the redeemed from every nation will stand before the throne.ย
Until that day, we go.
Where has God called you to go?

The Great Commission is ongoingโthere are still unreached peopleย groups. What fears, excuses, or obstacles keep you from being moreย involved in global or local missions, and how can you overcome them?

Pray about how God is calling you to be generous in advancing the gospel, and consider one way you can financially invest in Godโs global mission.

Lord, the world is Yours, and Your missionย cannot fail. You have promised that one day, a great multitude from every nation will stand before You, singing โSalvationย belongs to our God and to the Lamb!โย ย
Until that day, send us with urgency andย confidence. Let our feet carry good news to those who have not heard and our voices proclaim the gospel boldly.ย
Strengthen Your Church to labor, give, andย go, for the work is not done. The road mayย be hard and the task, but Your promise is sure.
Keep our hands steady and our hearts true so the gospel can go where itย has not gone. Amen.
