Behold the Lamb

Posted on December 1, 2022 by Pete

Satisfied

Posted on September 16, 2022 by Pete

To say I’m “chewing” on Isaiah 53 this morning would be to imply that it’s bite sized. Far from it. Isaiah 53 is a full meal deal, enough within it to process for an eternity. Not because it’s appetizing, not … Continue reading →

The Lamb’s Book of Life

Posted on December 21, 2021 by Pete

Chewing on Revelation 21 this morning and the first thought that strikes me is, “This is Eden regained.” And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell … Continue reading →

John first hears what the Spirit says to the churches on earth (Rev. 2 & 3), and then in Revelation 4, he’s invited to experience what those who overcome will experience in heaven. We often refer to the “pearly gates” … Continue reading →

Posted on January 20, 2021 by Pete

Two prophetic words rattling around in my head this morning. The first the dying words of a patriarch, the second the desperate words of a king. The first enveloped with an anticipation of glory, the second enduring the agony of … Continue reading →

A Common Denominator

Posted on November 30, 2020 by Pete

Always the Lamb

Posted on December 24, 2019 by Pete

A Lion

Posted on October 17, 2019 by Pete

Again, it’s repetition in Jeremiah that’s caused me to pause and reflect this morning. Something said of God’s judgment of Babylon in this morning’s reading that was also declared concerning His judgment of Edom in yesterday’s reading. And it’s got … Continue reading →

Because of The Touch

Posted on February 11, 2019 by Pete

Behold the Lamb . . . Forever!

Posted on December 20, 2018 by Pete
