Judgment

Judgment - Meditation from Revelation 6

We bring judgment upon ourselves by what we do with what we receive.

• He who receives a crown goes out conquering

• He who receives a sword takes away peace

• He who receives a pair of scales sells at exorbitant price

• He who receives authority causes death

• He who receives the word of God gives testimony to the Word

------------------------------

+ God's judgment spares no one; rulers & ruled, rich & poor, powerful & weak, free & slave

+ He who hides now from Jesus, on that Day will want to be hidden from His wrath

+ He who now testifies Jesus, even if slandered & slaughtered, will enjoy God's rest

+ No one stands (is able to face) God's judgment, but they who have Jesus as their Sovereign Lord & partake in His holiness & walk in His truth
