Seize the Moment – Day 349
Unveiling Jesus Christ!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Monday, March 1.
Listen to how Jesus is described to the first four of the seven churches of Revelation:
- To Ephesus in 2:1, Jesus is “the One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands.”
- To Smyrna in 2:8, Jesus is “the first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life.”
- To Pergamum in 2:12, Jesus is, “the One who has the sharp two-edged sword.”
- To Thyatira in 2:18, Jesus is, “the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze.”
Don’t skip to the later chapters of Revelation and miss out on the Revelation we receive about Jesus Christ in the first three chapters.
God has not hidden Himself from humanity, but rather He unveiled Himself to us through Jesus Christ. We found Jesus in the Gospel accounts, the early church history book of Acts, the 13 letters of Paul, and in every book of the New Testament.
Do you know Jesus? He has made Himself known; He desires for you to know Him personally.
Seize the moment and know Jesus. He is still revealing Himself to people today. Read your Bible, memorize God’s Word, and pray without ceasing.
Let’s recite this week’s memory verse from 2 Corinthians 12:9a (NAS95), “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
It is important to review the first three memory verses as well. I keep my memory cards clipped to my prayer journal and have them typed into my Evernote workflow app so that I can review all of them throughout the day. Remember, we are not memorizing words to pass a test, we are creating habits of grace to live a victorious life by hiding God’s Word in our hearts and meditating upon them day and night. This is the way!
God Bless you!
