His Face

 Was Like The Sun Shining

 With Full Force

 

 

I, John, your brother who share with you in Jesus the persecution and the kingdom and the patient endurance, was on the island called Patmos because of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, “Write in a book what you see and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamum, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

 

Then I turned to see whose voice it was that spoke to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands I saw one like the Son of Man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash across his chest. His head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining with full force.

 

When I saw him. I fell at his feet as though dead. But he placed his right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living one. I was dead, and see, I am alive forever and ever; and I have the keys of Death and of Hades…”

 

Revelation 1:9-18

 

What is the greatest activity we can spend time doing? Worshipping God! Worship is not repeating hasty routine petitions or listening to mood-inducing music. Worship is the experience of being lost because of the wonder, love and praise we have of our God. If you have ever seen the Grand Canyon you can appreciate the wonder of God’s creation. Do it at sunset or sunrise at Bright Angel Point and you begin to get the picture. As the sun rises the canyon goes from deep purple to red. God created this earth. Or how about a sunrise on the ocean after a tremendous storm? Storm clouds breaking. The sun coming through. Lightning on the horizon, shades of blue, red, and purple. You are living heaven on earth. Use your time wisely to realize God is all around you. God deserves awe and adoration. And to top it off, He sent His Son Jesus to save us all!

 

True worship of Christ

changes admiration into adoration.
