And so, I continue. . .
Revelation 1:13-16 ~ 13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. KJV
John is focused on Jesus as He describes our Saviour! Jesus the Son of God, it is hard to imagine this as truth the way John describes Him. But I do believe every Word of my Bible is true. What an amazing God we serve. I cannot wait to be in Heaven with Him. ". . . his eyes were as a flame . . ." no wonder He "shined" like the sun. One day we will also come face to face with our Saviour. I wonder if we will see what John so... I'm pretty sure we will. John had seen Jesus' face in this very state once before.... Matthew 17:2 And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
John sees a glorious Being who resembles his dear friend and Master, Jesus of Nazareth, but this Person is far beyond human. BUT he knew who he was, and we will too. Only those who have taken Jesus as their Saviour will ever see Heaven. Scripture tells us that EVERY KNEE shall bow to Him, Philippians 2:10 "That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;" Every one of us will bow before Him. Many in adoration, but sadly many in great fear. Time will have run out for them, and judgment is sure.
Please know this is truth. You can say I know God, love Jesus, but that won't save you. Only a complete surrender to our beloved One with complete repentance and sorrow for our sin, asking for forgiveness and asking Him to come into your heart and save you! He is the ONLY way to Heaven! Don't miss out, mess up, or deny your God Given right to be saved! There is NOTHING WORTH missing out when He calls us Home! Make sure you know Him as your Saviour.
HE CARES!
Do You Know HIM?
Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen.
With love and prayers,
May we be your faithful Philippians 2:16 Missionaries?
Philippians 2:16 Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.
