Passage of the Week - Revelation 19:11-12

And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.

Pastor's Note for the Week
What does Jesus say when he shouts? Gregory Fisher, a Bible College professor in California was asked that question by a West African student. He wanted to leave the question unanswered, to tell the student that we must not go past what Scripture has revealed, but the student persisted: "Paul says Christ will descend from heaven with a loud command. I would like to know what that command will be." He writes: “My mind wandered to an encounter I had earlier in the day with a refugee from the Liberian civil war. The man, a high school principal, told me how he was apprehended by a two-man death squad. After several hours of terror, he narrowly escaped. After hiding in the bush for two days, he was able to find his family and flee to a neighboring country. I also saw flashbacks of the beggars that I pass each morning on the way to the office. Every day I see how poverty destroys dignity.“ am haunted by the vacant eyes of people who have lost all hope. Then he had his answer: "Enough," I said. "He will shout 'Enough!' when He returns." A look of surprise crossed the face of the student. "What do you mean, enough?" "Enough. Enough sin. Enough evil. Enough Suffering. Enough starvation. Enough terror. Enough death. Enough indignity. Enough lives trapped in hopelessness. Enough sickness and disease.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jesus is Lord, Jesus is in control and Jesus will return. We sometimes lament over the suffering and plagues in the world - but we forget that this terrible condition has its root cause in the fall of creation and sin. Jesus came first to pay the price to save the sinners. Next He will come to claim His creation and make all things new. Maranatha!

Pastor Paul
