Rev 22:3 - 5, "And there shall be no more curse, but
the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. 4 They
shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. 5 There shall be no night
there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they
shall reign forever and ever."
- We read in our text that "His name shall be on their foreheads." It is sweet
when you know that "I own my Lord and He owns me". Although Neil's passing on is
a great loss to us it is great gain to him for he enters the glory of Is 64:4, "For
since the beginning of the world men have not heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither
hath the eye seen, O God, beside Thee, what He hath prepared for him that waiteth for
Him."
- Jesus said, "Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God." The
brighter the light of God shines the more is revealed in one's life. Neil is blessed for
he continually walked in the light with the Lord. Whenever God revealed something to him
he brought it to the light so that the precious Blood could cleanse him.
Not everyone will see God. Not everyone loves the light of God, for Jesus says in John
3:20, "For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light,
lest his deeds should be exposed."
Test yourself whether you love the light of God and live in God's light. If you are
walking in sin and darkness then repent today and come to the light of God that your sins
might be washed away, that you too can "see His face" and have "His
name" upon your forehead, and reign with Him eternally.
