How Long O Lord!?

September 11, 2022

Revelation 6:9-17— The final end and God’s judgment on the wicked, unbelieving world may be delayed for a time but until that day, until Christ returns we must persevere as faithful followers of Jesus. Wherever we are and in whatever we do, we must boldly proclaim the gospel of God’s Kingdom no matter the costs. During this time we will suffer persecution and death but God protects our souls through suffering and death. On that Day of the Lord, God and the Lamb will pour out their wrath on every unbeliever no matter their position or power. Where will we stand? Will be faithful slaves of God or will we be with the earth-dwellers, the unbelievers, who will try to hide from God’s wrath? Only the believers, God’s faithful people, and faithful witnesses can stand before God’s throne on that day.

The Lamb Rules

September 4, 2022

Revelation 6:1-8 — Christ the Lamb rules from the throne and executes God’s plan for the world. As He opens the first four seals, God allows human sinfulness to run its course, resulting in warfare, violence, bloodshed, economic hardship, famine, and death. These serve as His judgments and punishments on the unbelieving and unrepentant world. They are final warnings for people to repent. These tribulations also result in persecution and suffering for the believers. The faithful will be purified and saved. These judgments should not lead us to despair but give us hope and encouragement because they indicate that God is fulfilling his plan of salvation. The Lamb is in control and the Lord is coming soon to bring in the final end.

Worship the Lamb

August 28 2022

Revelation 5:1-14 — The Lion is the Lamb, the slaughtered Lamb. Jesus Christ is the Lion-Lamb. He conquered Satan, evil, and death through his crucifixion and his resurrection. Because of his victory he is worthy to execute, complete, and fulfill God’s plan to judge the world, save his people, and restore his creation. We should worship the Lamb because through his death on the cross he redeemed a multicultural people for God and made them a kingdom and priests. We should worship the Lamb with God because he is God and rules with God.

Repent with Your Whole Heart

Revelation 3:7-13 — Jesus is the Holy Lord, the True Messiah, the faithful God. He opens the door of God’s Kingdom for us. We overcome by holding on to what we have, this open door.

Wake Up!

July 24, 2022

Revelation 3:1-6 — Jesus Christ, the Sovereign Lord of his church, calls us to wake up and remain awake so that we will be worthy to be bearers of His Name. We should be spiritually vigilant to guard against spiritual lethargy and complacency until He comes. Then He will acknowledge our names before the Father and welcome us as kingdom citizens for our names are written in the book of life.
