Awesome Lamb

Read Revelations 4-6

Revelations 5:13 says, "And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever."  We think about what heaven will be like and look like when we get there—the pearly gates, the streets of gold.  We think about all the people we know who are already there and how wonderful it will be to see them again.

We think about all the people we never met and don’t know but can’t wait to meet, like Moses and David, and how exciting it will be to hear their stories firsthand from them.  We think about the crowns and mansions that await us.

But when we finally see God face to face, we probably won’t even think about anything else.  We will be so mesmerized by His glory and majesty that we can’t even imagine, we won’t have eyes for anyone or anything else but Him.  Seeing Him will be our ultimate reward.

Tomorrow’s reading: Revelations 7-9
