Revelation 7:9-10,“…behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, ‘Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, […]
2 Corinthians 12:10, “for the sake of Christ, then, I am content (or “well pleased”) with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am when, then I am strong.” How can Paul be content with—or even embrace—his sufferings? This is not only counter intuitive, it is counter nature. We do not move toward

Hosea 2:6-7, “Therefore I will hedge up her way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, so that she cannot find her paths. She shall pursue her lovers but not overtake them, and she shall seek them but shall not find them. Then she shall say, ‘I will go and return to
Revelation 4 + Rev.7:17, 22:1 As John enters into the explicitly apocalyptic section of his book And prepares to detail the progressive dismantling of the world as we know it, it is fitting that he starts with a strong emphasis on the cosmic centrality and sovereign authority of the One True God. That is what
Psalm 63:7, “…for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy.” A song we would not have sung if the storm had not driven us to seek refuge under the wings of steadfast love and faithfulness, pierced on Calvary.
Psalm 103:15-17, “As for man, his days are like grass; he flourishes like a flower of the field; for the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place knows it no more. But the steadfast love of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him…” And in
1 Thessalonians 1:10, “…Jesus, who delivers us from the wrath to come.” The One who will pour out eschatological wrath (Rev.6:16-17) delivers His people from that wrath (1 Thess. 1:10) precisely by bearing that wrath in their place (Rom.3:25). In this is Love (1 John 4:10). Just a short thought for today. This

2 Corinthians 4:10, “…always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies.” Because of the Christian’s union to Christ in the Spirit, Paul can interpret all Christian suffering that is endured in faith as a fellowship with Jesus in His death….and yet,

“[Christ] himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery.” – Hebrews 2:14-15 The “same things” here is flesh and blood—ie, full humanity—and everything that
Matthew 2:16-17, “…He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on Him; and behold, a voice from heaven said, ‘This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.’” Jesus is our window into the Trinity. It is by and in Him alone that we know God as
Psalm 34:18, “YHWH is near to the broken-hearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” If YHWH is near to the broken-hearted, it is fitting that we ask the question, “how near?” And isn’t the only answer: “as near as can be conceived, as near as is possible…” And how near is that? Certainly the
Isaiah 43:1, “I have called you by name, you are mine.” The Christian is not bound to God by their own piety or sincerity, they are bound to Him by His zealous possession of them. They are His….ransomed by the blood of His Son (1 Peter 1:19), hidden in the risen Jesus (Colossians 3:3), sealed
John 21:22, “Jesus said to him, ‘If I desire him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow me.’” You follow me: In saying that, Jesus realigns Peter with reality, with his purpose, with true life….. The first thing to consider here is that Jesus’ words are not intended to create
Psalm 40:1-3, “I waited patiently for YHWH; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God.”
Psalm 29:5,8,9-10, “The voice of YHWH breaks the cedars…The voice of YHWH shakes the wilderness…and in his temple, all cry, ‘Glory!’ YHWH sits enthroned as king forever.” . Matthew 27:50-51, “Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up His spirit….And the earth shook.” The voice of YHWH thunders with greatest majesty on

Luke 2:10-11, “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. For unto you is born…a Savior, who is Christ, the Lord.” God Himself became a fertilized egg in Mary’s body. He became a developing fetus. He became an infant in utero. And by inhabiting every stage of human development,
Revelation 7:17, “…the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” In this text, John brings together three great truths about Jesus. He is: 1) the Divine King — John tells us
John 6:35, “I am the Bread of Life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.” The Son, broken by the Father, offered in the Spirit, received by faith IS the Bread by whom every human hunger is satisfied. May God give us grace to turn away from

Galatians 6:14, “…far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.”
