LOVE & HIS Wedding Day to Come
Here’s a LOVE challenge:
- Open the Bible and read the last two verses—The Revelation to John 22: 20- 21.
- Now open the Bible and read the first three verses—Genesis 1: 1-3.
- Finally, open the Bible and read the centermost verses—The Psalms 118: 22-29.
Composed over a span of 1,400 years.
Spoken to and written down by forty (40) different godly men.
Created by God Himself and Condensed for Mankind into over 31,000 bite-size verses.
This is February, the month on the calendar when a majority of the world speaks of that four-letter word & when houses and places of business are decorated with red hearts. Today, as the world breathlessly waits (just four days remaining) for that all-important question:
Does he love me?
Followed by the next, seemingly more-important question:
Will he display his love by his gift given to me?
Open the Bible and read the last two verses—See the Amazing Wedding Day to Come—
“He who testifies to these things says,
(The Revelation to John 22: 20-21 NASB)
“Yes, I am coming quickly.”
Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all.
Amen.”
JESUS WILL COME! &
HE WILL COME QUICKLY, WITHOUT HESITATION, WHILE THE WORLD WAITS!
HIS bride, the church, must be ready to receive her bridegroom.
- Christians, the Believers, the ones who have given their hearts to the Son of God, must be absolutely ready.
- Unbelievers, the ones separated from God, will see the display of God’s Promise, when His Son Jesus stands from His seat near God’s throne, and returns to earth for His church.
Now open the Bible and read the first three verses—See the Amazing Display of God’s Creation—
“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
(Genesis 1: 1-3 NASB)
The earth was formless and void,
and darkness was over the surface of the deep,
and the Spirit of God was moving over the surface of the waters.
Then God said,
“Let there be light”;
and there was light.”
The bride of Jesus must testify of God’s love to the world of unbelievers who surround them.
- Who will tell your story, your testimony, when you are gone when Jesus comes for you?
- Who will know you have received the perfect sacrifice for your sins?
- Who will know you are a Believer in Jesus Christ if you remain silent?
- Who will tell the world about the blood of the spotless Lamb of God?
- Who will tell about God’s free gift of grace, of eternal life, of life abundant if you do not tell, if you refrain and remain silent?
Today marks the Genesis, the beginning, of our Revelation.
BE BOLD!
CHILD of MOST HOLY GOD—BE BOLD IN THE LORD’S STRENGTH!
BELIEVER—TESTIFY, TELLING THE LISTENING WORLD, ALL THE AMAZING WAYS GOD HAS DISPLAYED HIS LOVE FOR US!
FATHER GOD,
Empower us to be bold for YOU, beginning today.
Amen.
Finally, open the Bible and read the centermost verses—See the Truth—
“The stone which the builders rejected
(The Psalm 118: 22-29 NASB)
Has become the chief corner stone.
This is the LORD’S doing;
It is marvelous in our eyes.
This is the day which the LORD has made;
Let us rejoice and be glad in it.
O LORD, do save, we beseech You;
O LORD, we beseech You, do send prosperity!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD;
We have blessed you from the house of the LORD.
The LORD is God,
and He has given us light;
Bind the festival sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar.
You are my God,
and I give thanks to You;
You are my God,
I extol You.
Give thanks to the LORD,
for He is good;
For His lovingkindness is everlasting.”
Yes, this is the month of February, the time when a majority of the world speaks of LOVE.
The world waits for that all-important question:
Does HE love me?
Followed by the more-important question:
How has HE displayed his love for you & me?
YES, JESUS LOVES US!
HE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR US!
HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR EACH ONE OF US!
THE MARRIAGE OF CHRIST TO HIS BRIDE (those who believe in HIM) DISPLAYS HIS LOVE TO US!
HIS Wedding Day Will Come!
May we who know JESUS as our SAVIOR—Live for HIM today!
So that even IF today is our last day of life here on earth—
We will have lived this our final day—living it for God—Just as we have been commissioned by His Only Begotten Son!
In closing, before you step into your day, pause to listen to the melody:
“Love Me Still” by Seph Schlueter.
Be reminded—Through song.
GOD’S LOVE DISPLAYED—THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE!
GOD’S LOVE MANIFESTED—THROUGH JESUS!
GOD’S LOVE—FOREVER & EVER!
