Been having some technical difficulties. This computer is acting goofy this morning so I've been doing little checks of this and that. But I am not the only one. The Hilltoppers had some technical difficulties last night. Sloppy play and a blocked field goal as time ran out led to a 2 point loss. Region play is coming with some new opponents this year. Ought to be interesting.
Well, there is so much in Rev. 22 that it is hard to pick a spot. Not only does it close out this great book but it gives you several reminders of things already taught. The river from the Temple is showing that life and fruitfulness only comes through Christ. (v.1-3). The names on the foreheads (v.4) go back to the thought of the Shema (Deut. 6:4-8) or the Mark of the Beast (or the world). Who do you have allegiance to? There is another reiteration for Christians saved by His blood to give complete devotion to Christ (v. 14-15). Again in v.17 it encourages folks to be saved. However, what stands out this morning is the eagerness of the church for Christ to come. It is to be an eager passion in each of us to see Christ come. We are to be hungry for his movement, hungry for His power, presence, and leadership in all that we do. We are also to be hungry for His Return. We need not be escapists-looking for a way out all the time. However, we are to keep it all in perspective. This is not all there is. There is much more in store. Understanding those things... come, Lord Jesus!
