Guided to the Water of Life

Sustaining Hope
Visions of Grandeur


A Transforming Stream

Revelation 7:13-17  The Message

13-14 Just then one of the Elders addressed me: “Who are these dressed in white robes, and where did they come from?” Taken aback, I said, “O Sir, I have no idea—but you must know.”
14-17 Then he told me, “These are those who come from the great tribulation, and they’ve washed their robes, scrubbed them clean in the blood of the Lamb. That’s why they’re standing before God’s Throne. They serve him day and night in his Temple. The One on the Throne will pitch his tent there for them: no more hunger, no more thirst, no more scorching heat. The Lamb on the Throne will shepherd them, will lead them to spring waters of Life. And God will wipe every last tear from their eyes.”
 
For Reflection
Have you escaped the tribulations of your life?  Are you wearing the white robes of redemption.  Do others see you standing apart from the crowd, practicing forgiveness, compassion, and justice?  That is the Christian imperative.  That is what Jesus exemplifies.  That is the life of a Christian.

Pray

that you will continue to serve the Lord.  Pray that through the Holy Spirit, you will lead others to the spring waters of Life.
