“Come up here”

Revelation 4:1 “After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, ‘Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.'”

Here is John the beloved who had seen so much of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ up to this point. He had seen so much he even wrote the world itself could not contain everything that Jesus Christ did in their midst. Even after all this he has an open vision of Jesus in Revelation 1. Take time to read the description of the Lord in this chapter. It’s so overwhelming to the disciple who once laid his head on the Lords bosom, the only thing he could do was fall at His feet as dead. Even after all of this, and receiving the message he must give to the seven churches, He still hears the voice of the Lord to, “come up here.” Even after seeing Jesus glorified, God in essence says there’s more, and takes John into the throne room.

Time and time again throughout the bible Jesus is calling to His people to seek Him for more. You may have laid your head on His bosom and seen many mighty works that even the world couldn’t contain it. You may have seen the eyes of fire piercing through your soul. You may have seen the King face to face and fallen prostrate before Him. Even with all this He says to you, “come up here.” There’s more of God to be found.
