Reading
SAA Notes
Shameful, deceitful and impure are adjectives of hell, not heaven. I have a responsibility to turn away from such today. When Christ returns, the Garden of Eden will become the Garden in the midst of the Holy City!
SJA Notes
* God of steadfast love and faithfulness, please humble us today with Your word to us.
“And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.”
Here is a wonderful thing to look forward to.
The full revelation of our God of light. That this new creation itself will have fundamental changes from the old.
No longer will there be a burning sun by day and a glowing moon by night.
Instead the glory of God will radiate, the Lamb as a lamp.
Our King Jesus is the Lamb.
It is His book of life we read of here and elsewhere.
The Lamb is the one slain from before the foundation of the world.
He is the sacrifice once for all.
Jesus. The Lamb.
And He is our lamp, God’s word become flesh – A lamp for our feet and a light for our path.
* Faithful God,
Thank You for Your promise of eternal life that is described a little more here – That You will be our light.
Thank You that You are the God of light!
Thank You for writing our names in the Lamb’s book of life.
Amen.
