Revelation 20:1-6, The Kingdom of Christ

The Millennium is the appetizer before the main course, the first movement of a symphony, the penultimate prior to the ultimate. It is the forerunner who heralds the excellence of the world to come.

Philippians 1:18b-26, Christ Exalted

For to Christians, every moment God grants us to live is aimed toward “fruitful labor.” As riveting as it is to stimulate one another to live for Christ, being with Christ is ultimately better. We aim to exalt Christ in life and death.

John 20:1-31, The Grace of the Risen Savior

John testifies of Jesus’ resurrection with three evidences of the empty tomb, His graveclothes, and His post-resurrection appearances. Jesus rose from the dead. The witnesses sealed their testimony with their own lives. What did Jesus convey to His people upon His resurrection? Not disappointment, displeasure, or condemnation for those who failed Him, but grace, pure, undeserved grace. He did this because He paid for their sins and He earned their peace with God through the cross. What’s more? He shares life with those who are one with Him. He invites them into a vital connection with their heavenly Father that they, too, might taste of the kindness of the Lord and their souls be satisfied with God.

Revelation 19:6-21, The Two Suppers

Jesus’ return is marked by two suppers, one a celebration of the marriage of the Lamb and the other the aftermath of the Armageddon. The bride of Christ prepares herself for her groom while the rest of the world prepares to war with Him. May the Lord grant us to grace to be at peace with God, not at war with Him. In the end, there are only two ends, the wedding feast or the judgment feast. May the grace of God lead us all to follow the Lamb wherever He goes.

Philippians 1:12-18a, Christ Proclaimed

The driving theme of the passage is the progress of the Gospel through the proclamation of Christ. Many terms are used in the text to describe proclaiming Christ and none of them requires an official position of leadership. Instead, a trust in the Lord will lead us to be courageous and to speak the word of God without fear.

Rom. 3:10-18, The Gospel (Part 2)

How has man responded to the good and holy God? The bible’s answer is sin. Even though God had only done him good, man turned his back on God and distrusted and disobeyed Him. How did the first man sin against God? How does man sin against God today? How pervasive is in among mankind? These are the questions addressed in this next study of the gospel message. Praise God that He did not respond to man in kind but sent the Savior!

2 Tim. 3:14-17, The Gospel

2 Tim. 3:15 explains that Scripture is able to give wisdom unto salvation through faith in Christ. The good news (“the gospel”) of Jesus Christ is the wisdom found in Scripture which every sinner must believe in order to be saved. In this first installment on the gospel, we answer biblically the first two foundational questions regarding God. “Who created the world?” and “What is God’s character like?” This is the first of four part series on the gospel questions and answers (catechism).

1 Pet. 1:14-19, Five Motivations for Holy Living

Peter gives us a strong encouragement toward Christian holiness which is marked by separation from sin, imitation to God and permeation of this reality in every aspect of our lives. Peter points out in this passage five motivations for holy living: filiation (we are new covenant children of God who obey the Lord from a changed heart), extinction (our former life should never be brought into the present), revelation (this duty of the people of God has been written down by God in Scripture), evaluation (God evaluates our lives with objective and impartial judgment), and calculation (Christ paid the infinite price of ransom for our redemption). May the Lord help us to have the wisdom of the Word of God to daily pursue a life of holiness.
