Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. Revelation 22:14
This week marks (meeting Monday nights) the final week of my D-Group's study of Revelation - using Stephen Witmer's commentary and study guide. For this week's study, we are collapsing the Epilogue (week 11) and the Summary/Conclusion (week 12) into a single week. Of particular note this morning is how only those who wash their robes are allowed into Heaven. Of course this refers to the cleansing of sin that only Jesus provides - God alone forgives and cleanses us of our sin. This is not of our own doing - no works can do this for us. We all sin, and we all need a Savior (lest we suffer eternal torment). For those who have experienced this cleansing, it is an overwhelming experience where a natural response is praise God - what amazing grace!

My Prayer: Lord Jesus, You are an amazing God who loves me and who saves me and cleanses my sin - thank You Jesus! Amazing grace indeed! I am not deserving as my sin is great and it continues daily. Please forgive me Jesus and help me overcome and turn from my sin towards You. Help me love You with all of my heart, soul, and mind and love others as You love me. Help me grow in my faith. Give Lisa and myself wisdom and strength. Please heal Lisa of her cancer and from the side effects of chemo. Help us lead Zach and Dustin to You Jesus and for them to choose You as their Lord and Savior. Please provide Godly friends and spouses to Zach and Dustin. Help me serve You, my family, my church, and others. Help me understand, be obedient to, and apply Your message for me today and every day.
