Come, Lord Jesus

The Bible ends with a small Advent liturgy. The Spirit and the Bride say, "Come." All who hear echo the prayer and say, "Come." Jesus assures his people, "Yes, I am coming quickly." The response to that assurance is another prayer: "Come, Lord Jesus." Maranatha - an Aramaic word meaning "Come, Lord" - is the last of the Spirit’s prayers, harmonized by the Bride. Scripture leaves us eager for the Lord’s arrival.
