Jesus Christ (Rev. 2:28-29)


SPIRITUAL DIARY FOR

03/06/2005

 

My Worship Time                  Focus:  Jesus Christ 

 

Bible Reading & Meditation             Reference:  Revelations 2:28, 29

 

            Message of the verse:  “and I will give him the morning star.  “‘He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’”  (NAS95)  “and with it, the Morning Star!  Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches."  (Message)

            In verse 28 Jesus tells  this church that He will give them the “Morning Star,” and in Re 22:16 Jesus had this to say about that, “I, Jesus, sent my Angel to testify to these things for the churches. I’m the Root and Branch of David, the Bright Morning Star."  It can be learned from this the Jesus is the Morning Star, and that some day in the future believers will have the Lord Jesus Christ more fully that at this present time.  As Scripture is compared with other Scripture one can see this truth more clearly.

            Verse 29 is the way that all of Christ’s last words to each church is given as He wants those who are His to make sure that they continue to listen to the Spirit, and that can be best done by staying in the Word each and every day.

 

            Spiritual meaning for my life today:  These two verses really tie into each other, for as I listen to what the Spirit has to say to the church, then I am listening to Christ and as I listen to Christ and put into practice what He has to say to me then I am being more conformed to His image, so that I have more of Him.

 

The Word of God was very challenging to my heart as I read it this morning.

 
My Steps of Faith Today:  Trust in the Lord with all of my heart and lean not upon my own understanding, in all of my ways acknowledge Him and He WILL direct my path
