Revelations 1:1-8
God is the beginning and the end. He created all things on the earth and controls their end because He is the Alpha and the Omega (Revelation 1:17). God is before all things (Colossians 1:15-17). Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made (John 1:3-4). To save people on the earth, He expressed Himself to us very vividly (Philippians 2:5-7). Jesus came down to earth though He is in very nature God. He wanted to teach us the reason of our lives so that we won’t deceive ourselves.
Therefore, our lives would be meaningless without Jesus, the beginning and the end. Because life without Jesus will face punishment in hell, we must live with Jesus. Everything is nothing without Jesus. There will be no hope without him. Only Jesus is our hope, life, reason to live, purpose and eternal life.
The Bible says that all splendors of lustful lives that have no Jesus belong to the devil’s work (Mark 4:10-11). Only Jesus is the best glory and inheritance to pursue. Nobody in the world can save us from sin, curses and torture in hell nor have in mind to do so. Only Jesus is the object of our faith; faith to overcome hardships and faith to grasp in the moment of death.
Only Jesus saves us from sin, destruction and hell and lifts us up as children of God. All saints live on the earth but belong to God as His children. Because their position is God’s children, they are completely different from worldly people though they live together on the earth.
Worldly people and God’s children share days on earth but never stay together after their bodily lives. Jesus Christ reflects the love of God toward us (John 3:16, 5:23). He was crucified bearing our sin. Everyone who possesses the cross is a child of God by the Holy Spirit’s testimony. The Holy Spirit is present in all believer’s souls (Romans 8:16). The Holy Spirit works without limit in believers (John 14:16-19). Their bodies become the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19). Only Jesus is the beginning and the end.
Let’s start the beginning of this year with Jesus and live together with Him always. Please don’t use your days for your flesh but utilize your days for the time of soul. The day you enter heaven, you will have your inheritance in the time of the soul. We must not be deceived by valueless glory on earth. Days without Jesus produce only cruel punishment and give miseries in the days of the soul.
Live by Jesus in every circumstance. Please be led by the Holy Spirit, win by God’s word and be bold by faith. Please don’t be troubled by living without Jesus. Please dwell in Jesus and be freed from the devil, Satan, evil spirits, sickness and all kinds of problems. Please don’t become a slave of the flesh and sinful nature. Please prepare your time of soul and overcome temptations.
If we lose something on earth, it will be loosed in heaven. If we bind something on earth, it will be bound in heaven. Please follow God’s will on earth so God will hold you. Please serve Jesus from the first week of this year and follow Him as He leads. Let’s make up our minds to live with Jesus and never be changed. Let’s work with Jesus and have success with Him. Let’s glorify Him and participate in the glorious joy. When Jesus returns, he will search for those who start and finish with Him. Let’s wait for Jesus like the wise five brides. Jesus will surely return.
