Celebrating GodGodly Love Among Believers Live in the light of God (Isaiah 2:5) Heaven and Earth Rejoice Revelation 19:9-16 New International Version9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.” 10 At this, I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.” The Heavenly Warrior Defeats the Beast11 I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice, he judges and wages war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.”[a] He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh, he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords. 14 Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? For Reflection
Who are we? We are creatures made in the image of God.
So? We are like angels, servants of God and followers of Jesus.
And? We, as confederates of God, help God realize God's will that all peoples will accept God's call for righteousness and reconciliation.
And? We are fearlessly hopeful!
Pray Live life fearlessly in the companionship with God. Pray, abide in God, and fill the world with love and hope. AMEN
