Today’s reading is Revelation 1
“The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near.”
Revelation 1:1-3 ESV

All,
This stands out because John says, “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place.” John says “must” take place. He doesn’t say “maybe” or God “wants” it to take place, but it “must” take place. The book of Revelation has many things that I don’t comprehend, but it stands out to me because God is willing to delay what “must” take place throughout the book so that others may see that only Christ gives us life. God loves all of His and doesn’t want anyone to perish, but He will not force Himself on anyone. Please pray that we and our friends seek time with God today. Please pray for Mike Jamieson to see how much Christ loves him.
