Greetings! Paul challenges the Christians in Colossae to consider the realities of the new life they now have in Christ, " Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God's right hand. 2Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. 3For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all his glory." (Colossians 3:1-4)
Starting tomorrow we will embark on a journey to familiarize ourselves with the persons and entities of the "end times."
By that I mean, we will study the Biblical witness to the Martyrs, the 144,000, the Two Witnesses, the Dragon, the Beast from the Sea, the Beast from the Earth, the Victor, the King, the Judge, and the Overcomers.
May we be drawn to greater awareness of our need for perseverance, purity and passion for the lost.
Here is the prayer for the week, "O God, who by the glorious resurrection of Your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: grant that I, who have been raised with Him, may abide in His presence and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory; through Jesus Christ my Lord, to whom with You and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise forever and ever. Amen."
Blessings,
Pastor Harry
