What grace and comfort are to be found in these...

I am the bright and morning star. Surely I am coming quickly.
Revelation 22:16.20

What grace and comfort are to be found in these words for the children of God! We can be sure that this world's gloomy night, through which we have to go, is far advanced. The moral and spiritual darkness of our age is frightening - but the Lord will come soon, to take His redeemed to the Father's house.

In the Old Testament such anticipation was unknown: believing Israelites expected their Messiah to redeem Israel and restore the kingdom (cf. Luke 24:21; Acts 1:6). We know that when that day comes these events will actually come about; but beforehand Christ must come in judgment and "thoroughly clean out his threshing floor" (Matthew 3:12).

Before the judgments take place, the morning star; Jesus, our beloved Lord, will appear as the herald of that day. His bride is already looking out for Him, longingly calling, "Come, Lord Jesus!" v. 20).

Living expectation of the Lord Jesus brings about practical sanctification, devotion to Him and patient faithfulness in this time of waiting.

If we love the Lord Jesus, we shall look forward to His coming. But supposing we are conformed to the world and earthly things fill our hearts? Perhaps we are aware of the truth of His coming in theory, but our heart no longer rejoices over it. And that will be noticeable in us. We no longer resemble servants waiting for their master (Luke 12:35-37). What a loss for us, and how distressing for Him!

Today's reading: 2 Chronicles 13:1-12 Â· Revelation 2:18-29

When You Have A Vision

I was not disobedient to the vision.' Acts 26:19 NIV

When God gives you a vision for your life, you need to know how to:

Thoughts on the Gospel of John (113)

He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. If anyone serves me, let him follow me; and where I am, there my servant will be also. If anyone serves me, him my Father will honour.
John 12:25.26.
