September 17, 2016: SOAP #2480:  Ezekiel 42-44; Revelation 22

Scripture:  Revelation (NIV) 22:13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.  14 “Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.

Observation:    In Revelation 7:14 we read that the robes are to be washed in the “blood of the Lamb.”  Our sins are forgiven and we are made clean, so clean that in God’s eyes we are just as if we had never sinned.  It is indeed AMAZING!   With our sins forgiven and our names written in THE BOOK of life we have an amazing eternity ahead.

Application:   Have you made Jesus your Savior?  Have you asked and received the forgiveness He offers to you?  Just speak to Him; ask His to forgive your sins; then say, “Thank you for doing what you said you would do!”  Have you made Jesus your Lord?  Have you given Him the veto power over every big and small decision you make?   Speak to Him and tell Him that He is your Lord!  Have you received the joy that comes in knowing that nothing stands between you and your Lord and Savior?   (2Peter 3:18)

Prayer:  Jesus, what a joy to know that the blood you spilled on the cross is accepted in the courts of heaven as the full and complete payment for my sins!  What a privilege to call you, “My Lord!”    Amen
