Revelations

Rev 6:3 And when he had opened the second seal, I heard the second beast say, Come and see.

Rev 6:4 And there went out another horse that was red: and power was given to him that sat thereon to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another: and there was given unto him a great sword.

Rev 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

Rev 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Jesus Christ Gives The Holy Spirit To All Who Trust Him.

As we come to Christ, confessing Him as God's Son and trusting Him as our Saviour, we receive the gift of the Holy Spirit (v.33). Christ gives the Holy Spirit to all who trust Him. Through the power of the Holy Spirit, we are enabled to confess Christ before men and to live as His witnesses. We can learn a great deal about what the Holy Spirit seeks to do in our lives, as we look at four of the first followers of Jesus - (1) John the Baptist (v. 36), (2) Andrew (v. 41), (3) Peter (v. 42), (4) Nathaniel (v. 51). First, in our witnessing for Christ, we are to point people to the Saviour of sinners. Second, we are to give our personal testimony - "We have found the Messiah." He has fulfilled the meaning and purpose of our lives. Third, we are to give the testimony of transformed lives, lives which are founded on Christ, the Rock of our salvation. Fourth, we are to live and speak as a people of hope, looking to Christ who is our Hope of glory.

This is the third and final post in a series on John 1:19-51.


The Son Of God Became The Lamb Of God.

In the opening chapter of John's Gospel, we read much about John the Baptist, but our main focus of attention is to be on the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God who became the Lamb of God. In this chapter, Jesus is described as both "the Son of God" and "the Lamb of God" (vs. 34, 49 / vs. 29, 36). This is the story of Jesus Christ. The Son of God became the Lamb of God. The story of Jesus Christ takes us from Bethlehem to Calvary. It tells us the story of how the Son of God became the Lamb of God. Coming in faith to Jesus Christ, we acknowledge Him to be both the Son of God and the Lamb of God.

The Lamb Of God Who Takes Away The Sin Of The World

The story of Jesus Christ begins with the words, "In the beginning" (John 1:1). The Old Testament prophets paved the way for Jesus Christ. They spoke of His coming. According to John 1:45, Jesus Christ is "Him of whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote." When we come into the New Testament, we find that the first preacher is not Jesus the Saviour. It is John the Baptist. John was the forerunner of Christ. He was the last in a long list of men sent from God to prepare the way of the Lord. John was not the Son of God. He was the Lord's messenger, pointing his hearers to the Son of God. John was not the Lamb of God. He was the preacher who directed attention to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29).

To Know The Truth

Jhn 8:31 Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; Jhn 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

God's Glory, Our Joy

"What is the chief end of man?" - "Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. " Notice the order - first, God's glory and, then, our joy. The hymn, "Amazing grace", contains a fine combination of receiving from the Lord and giving glory to Him - "I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see ... singing God's praise." These words provide us an echo of the words of Luke 18:43, where we read of a blind man receiving his sight, following Jesus and praising God. Have you received God's salvation? Have you begun to glorify God? Having received God's salvation, having begun to glorify God, let us go on to follow Jesus, "living together in justice and peace, caring for the world and for each other.

Bringing Joy To The Heart Of The Lord

We receive joy from the Lord. There is, however, another joy. It is the joy which we bring to the Lord when we come to Jesus: "there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (Luke 15:10). We come to Jesus and we receive the joy of the Lord. We come to Jesus, and we bring joy to the heart of the Lord. Christ asks us, "Do you want to receive joy?" He also asks us, "Do you want to bring joy to the heart of God?" We may answer the first question selfishly, concerned only with what we can get out of Christ. The second question challenges us to seek God's glory rather that simply seeking our own pleasure.

This is the seventh post in a series, based on John 1:14-18.

How Do We Receive Blessings From Jesus Christ?

We receive His blessings by receiving Him. The Lord Himself is among us. He is speaking to us through His Word. His Spirit is bringing Christ to us. The Lord is giving us a glimpse of His glory. Jesus stands among us as the risen Lord. He invites us to begin a new life with Him. Jesus comes to us with the Gospel. He comes to us with Good News. That's what the word, "Gospel", means - Good News! A little girl was asked if she had ever received Good News. She said that she received Good News when she received the "Yes" replies to the birthday party invitations she had sent to her friends. This little girl's answer tells us something very precious about the Lord's love for us. We receive joy when we come to Jesus: !"If I come to Jesus, He will make me glad."

The Joy Of The Lord

The joy which the Lord gives is described as "unutterable and exalted joy" or "joy unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Peter 1:8). The joy and the peace of the Lord becomes ours when the glory of the Lord breaks through into our lives. "Heaven came down and glory filled my soul when, at the Cross, the Saviour made me whole. My sins were washed away and my night was turned to day. Heaven came down and glory filled my soul."

This is the fifth post in a series, based on John 1:14-18.

Jesus Gives Us His Joy. He Is Our Joy.

There is no true joy apart from the Lord Jesus. He is our joy. He is our peace. We do not rest in our feelings. We trust in the Lord. Jesus is the real reason for our rejoicing. Without Him, we have nothing. Without him, we live defeated lives. The joy is not there. The peace is not there. Why? - Because Jesus is not there. When Jesus is in our lives, everything has changed. Our circumstances may remain the same. Scripture speaks about the "various trials" we must face (1 Peter 1:6). Through Christ, we are able to face these trials with joy - a joy that is not superficial, a joy which is deeply and securely grounded in the peace which comes from knowing that the Lord Himself is there with us, no matter how difficult life may be.

This is the fourth post in a series, based ob John 1:14-18.

What Does Jesus Christ Give To Us?

"And from His fullness have we all received, grace upon grace" (John 1:16). "Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17). In grace, God pours blessings into our lives. They are blessings which we don't deserve. How does He do this? He brings Gospel truth to our attention. He speaks to us the Gospel promises, inviting us to come and receive the Saviour and the blessings which come with Him. The Lord's blessings are very precious. Think of the joy which He gives to us. Think of the peace which He brings into our lives. We rejoice in God's gifts. More than that, however, we rejoice in the Giver. "My goal is God Himself, not joy, nor peace, nor even blessing, but Himself, my God."
-----
This is the third post in a series, based on John 1:14-18.

Who Is Jesus Christ?

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." (John 1:1). "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). Jesus Christ is described as "the Word." What do we use words for? We use words to communicate with one another. We use words to speak to one another. What does it mean to say, "Jesus Christ is the Word"? It means this - God is speaking to us. God is communicating Himself to us. He is not a God who keeps His silence. In Jesus Christ, God speaks to us. He introduces Himself to us as the God who is "full of grace and truth" (John 1:14). If we are to get to know God, we must come to Him by way of Jesus Christ (John 1:18). Jesus is the Way to God the Father. He is the true and living Way. Through Christ, we are brought to a true knowledge of God and a living experience of God.

Becoming God's Children

Through receiving Jesus Christ in faith, we become God's children. we are no longer merely God's creatures. We have entered into a new relationship with God. He is our Father. We are His children. Through becoming God's children, we come to enjoy His joy and peace. If our experience of this joy and peace is to be an ever-deepening experience, we must turn our attention, again and again, to Jesus Christ. As we look to Christ, we ask three questions. Who is Jesus Christ? What does He give to us? How do we receive His blessings?

Intentional Distractions

Do you ever encounter them? Those intentional distractions. When someone or a group of people attempt to intentionally distract you with the hopes of throwing you off course, frustrating you or setting you back?

Here's something key. Be wise, don't become offended, press through, stand your ground and watch how God will strengthen you. In the end you will be exalted, and those who with a malicious heart and intent set themselves against you will be cast down and brought low.

"Remember, we fight not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in high places"

"He ... Came To Bear Witness To The Light ... " (John 1:8-13).

The purpose of the preacher is not to exalt himself. It is to preach Christ - "He was not the light, but came to bear witness to the light" (John 1:8). Jesus Christ is described as "the true light that enlightens every man" (John 1:9). From the very beginning, He has been calling men and women to come to the light. This ministry of bringing men and women to the light has become much more clearly defined with the coming of Jesus into the world as a Man. He now stands before men and women, presenting them with a choice: Will you choose light or do you prefer to remain in the darkness? If you have come to Christ and are seeking to be an effective witness for Him, ask Him to lead you to those who have become aware of God the Creator and are now ready to be brought to Christ the Saviour. Pray that God will give you the opportunity to bring others to hear the Gospel that they might find the Saviour.

"There Was A Man Sent From God ... " (John 1:6-7).

How does the Lord speak to us through His Word? - "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came for testimony, to bear witness to the light, that all might believe through Him" (John 1:6-7). there is great benefit in reading the Scriptures day-by-day in our own homes. There is, however, also a special ministry of preaching and teaching which the Lord has appointed and anointed so that men and women hear the Gospel, be led in the light of God's Word and be strengthened in faith. We should seek always to take advantage of every opportunity of hearing God's Word preached.

"In Him Was Life ... " (John 1:4-5).

What has the Lord Jesus been doing since the very beginning? - "In Him was life, and the life was the light of men" (John 1:4). Jesus has been constantly at work in the hearts of men and women, calling them out of their spiritual darkness and into His marvellous light, out of spiritual death and into eternal life. How has Jesus Christ, the eternal Word of God, been speaking to men and women from the very beginning? He has been speaking to us through the created world (Psalm 19:1-4). Those who get a taste of the Lord soon find that they get hungry for more of Him. Once, we start to become aware of God the Creator, we long to know Him more fully, not only as Creator but also as Saviour. To know His saving power in our lives, we must turn only to the world created but also to the Word inspired by God (Psalm 19:7-10).

"In The Beginning Was The Word ... " (John 1:1-3).

The Bible begins with the words, "In the beginning, God". The Gospel of John begins with the words, "In the beginning was the Word."At the very beginning, there is Jesus Christ (John 1:1-3). He was there at the very beginning. He did not suddenly appear at the beginning of the New Testament. It should not surprise us that we find Jesus in the pages of the Old Testament. From the very beginning, He is there. "In the beginning was the Word." Before Isaiah and Jeremiah, before David and moses, before Abraham and Noah, before Adam and Eve, there is Jesus Christ. It's no wonder we find glimpses of the Lord Jesus throughout the Old Testament. Jesus was there before the Scriptures even began to be written (John 1:1-3).

Trusting In Christ’s Love, We Learn To Love.

The Pharisees lived by law. Jesus lived by love. The law of God - ‘holy and just and good’ (Romans 7:12) - had been distorted by the religious hypocrites. They were saying, ‘love your neighbour and hate your enemy’ (Matthew 5:43). ‘Love your neighbour’ is found in Leviticus 19:18. ‘Hate your enemy’ is not found in the Old Testament. For the Jews, ‘neighbour’ meant their own kind. They wrongly concluded that Gentiles were to be hated. Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan makes it clear that we are to love our enemies as well as our friends (Luke 10:25-37). Jesus’ disagreement is not with the law of God. It is with man’s misuse of it. Jesus’ teaching is simple - Love is not to be limited. It is demanding - love is all-embracing. We dare not bring love within our reach. We always fall short. We can only come to Christ. Confessing our lack of love and trusting in His perfect love, we learn to love.

Come To Christ And Dwell In The House Of The Lord For Ever.

God has given us a glimpse of a future which is heavenly, eternal and glorious: ‘the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God - It shone with the glory of God’. Is this ‘eternal life’ for everyone? Will all people ‘dwell in the House of the Lord for ever?’ Will everyone be saved? Is this what the Word of God teaches? ‘God wants everyone to be saved.’ He wants everyone to ‘come to the knowledge of the truth’, to ‘come to repentance.’ Sadly, there are many who ‘refuse to love the truth and so be saved’ (Revelation 21:10-11; John 3:16; Psalm 23:6; 1 Timothy 2:3-4; 2 Peter 3:9; 2 Thessalonians 2:10). Who will be saved? - ‘only those, whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life’. ‘Come’ to Christ - ‘Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they...may go through the gates into the city’ (Revelation 21:27; 22:17,14).

Jesus Christ Is Our Saviour. Let Us Bring Our Song Of Praise To Him.psalms

‘We boast of the Name of the Lord our God...Through the steadfast love of the Most High’ we ‘shall not be moved’ (Psalms 20:7; 21:7). We do not trust in things that ‘collapse and fall.’ We build on ‘the Rock’ (20:8; Matthew 7:24-27; Psalms 18:1-3; 62:5-7). We ‘rejoice’ in our God. He has made us ‘most blessed for ever’ (Psalm 21:1, 6; Ephesians 1:3). Think of Jesus Christ your Saviour. He is absolutely trustworthy. He is completely dependable. His love is an ‘unfailing love’ (Psalm 21:7). In Him, there is salvation. In Him, there is joy. With His strong and powerful love, He has saved us. He has given us ‘a new song’ to sing, ‘a song of praise to our God’ (Psalm 40:1-3). Let us lift our hearts and voices to Him in praise and worship: ‘Be exalted, O Lord, in Thy strength! We will sing and praise Thy power’ (Psalm 21:13).

Looking Back And Looking Forward

‘O Lord, You are my God; I will exalt You and praise Your Name… You have done marvellous things’ (Isaiah 25:1). We remember what God has done for us. He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Saviour. We rejoice in Jesus Christ who died for us. We rejoice in Jesus Christ who rose again for us. We look forward to the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. We look forward to the Day when ‘He will swallow up death for ever.’ On that Day, ‘the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces’. On that Day, we will look back and say, ‘Surely this is our God; we trusted in Him, and He saved us.’ On that Day, we will ‘rejoice and be glad in His salvation’ (Isaiah 25:8-9). Here and now, let us learn to ‘trust in the Lord’. We can trust in Him ‘for ever’. He is ‘the everlasting Rock’- ‘the Rock of our salvation’ (Isaiah 26:4; Psalm 95:1).

Prayer For Wisdom

Very soon we will have a new elected President. There is no doubt that the next President will face some difficult situations and be faced with many challenges. With the war in Iraq, the economy, and so many other situations within our country needing change plus world events. The next President will need the wisdom to make the right choices.

So as a nation, as a people. Let us lift the next President up to God in prayer and ask God to give him the wisdom to make the right choices.

Blessings,
