Revelation 19-22

The last day of reading, but certainly not the last day of asking questions.   This passage fosters a few more questions, and provides us with some incredible glimpses into heaven.

Today’s reading is the bulk of the tribulation.   Most of the popular images of Revelation are included in this section.

3 John, Revelation 1-5

In the interest of balancing reading with reflection, I think today I will just make comments in writing as I read….instead of trying to create a narrative.

2 John

It’s a rather short letter, but even before I read it I know there will be something worthwhile within it for me today.    That’s how I always want to approach my devotions!

Jude 1, 1 John

I never gave much thought to Jude…I mean, the man behind the letter that he penned.   Jude grew up with Jesus…he knew him longer than any of the disciples.   Jude and Jesus played together, ate meals together…probably slept in the same bed.    As cool as that seems, it probably made it harder for Jude to accept that his brother was actually God in human form.

2 Peter 1-3

Merry Christmas!     Peter is writing to us!  Think of it…that great Apostle who walked with Jesus, walked on water, walked away…and then was restored.   The one who saw Christ transfigured, saw him crucified and then resurrected….and watched Him ascend into heaven.    That great man of God is speaking to us directly.

2 Timothy 1-4

Paul considered Timothy his “true son in the faith” and so his letter offers “fatherly” advice.  But more than that, it’s a challenge to excel and not settle for a mediocre Christian life.

Hebrews 11-13

Today’s reading begins with an exhortation to faith, but I also learned a couple of other things as well.

Hebrews 7-10

Melchizedek.   Did you know that there is a book out there that purports to know who Melchizedek was, and who his father was?   This will surprise you.

2 Corinthians 6

 Friday               

If you haven’t gotten it by now, I sincerely hope that you can see, Paul is saying there is no way you can be sort of for God, or as John Wesley put it “an almost Christian”. You are either in or you are out. There is no half-hearted measure here.

2 Corinthians 1

Friday

Read 2 Corinthians 1

So Paul’s plans were changed. But that doesn’t mean that his word is not trustworthy, it means that he is listening to the voice of God and being obedient to Him.
