Lesson 3995

 Lesson (3995)(12-26-22)  Revelation 1:4-6

    “John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.”

    Today’s quote is John’s letter of warning to the seven churches of Asia. This letter is also his warning to every one of us as to the events that will occur leading up to, and after the second coming of Jesus Christ.

    There is a second lesson in today’s quote that, the importance of which, can be easily missed by the casual bible reader. That is that John makes clear that the “washing away” of our sins, is by the blood of Jesus Christs, NOT by water baptism. “Him that loved us, and WASHED US FROM OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BLOOD”.~
