GEMS from HEAVEN
GEMS from HEAVEN: Revelation 4:3; 21:10-21
Sometimes we can get ourselves so twisted in sin that we do not know which way is up. It is so embarrassing not only for us but to the point that our own relatives are ashamed to own us.
Here is the GEM: Jesus is able to untie us from being twisted in sin, sanctifying (cleaning) us for service to God. Also, He is the Captain who is able to lead us upward and not ashamed to call us His brethren. Now that is someone we should all follow and become a part of His family.
For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things, and through whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the author of their salvation through sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, saying, "I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE." And again, "I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again, "BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME."
