SERMON BY REV RUEMU ON OCTOBER 26TH, 2025 Title of the Sermon -The Consummation of the Kingdom.

​Scripture Reading: Revelation 21:1-5 (NIV)
The word Consummation- means the fact of making something complete or perfect, according to Oxford Advanced Learner's 

So what are we waiting for? What is the final chapter? The Christian hope is not a vague, spiritual sentiment. It is a concrete and glorious event: the Consummation of the Kingdom.
Verses about God's judgment
2 Corinthians 5:10:  "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad". 
Hebrews 9:27:  "And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment". 
1 Peter 4:17:  "For the time is coming when judgment begins with the household of God". 
Revelation 20:12:  "And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done". 

First, at the consummation, we will see the Restoration of All Things.

Second, at the consummation, we will experience the End of All Sorrow.

Third, and most profoundly, at the consummation, we will enjoy the Communion of All Peoples with God.





So what does this mean for us today? How do we live in light of this blessed consummation?

1. How do we live with Hope, not Hype. ?
2. How do we live with Purpose, not Passivity. ?
3. How do we live with Endurance, not Escape.  ?

The consummation is the solid promise of the God who cannot lie. It is the destination toward which all of history is rushing.

And the great prayer of the ages—"Your kingdom come"—will have found its everlasting, resounding, “Amen.”

In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
