FORGIVENESS AND JOY

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.”

Revelation 2:17 KJV

Charles Austin Miles wrote a beautiful inspiring hymn “A New Name In Glory”.  “I was humbly kneeling at the cross, Fearing naught but God’s angry frown; When the heavens opened and I saw That my name was written down.”  Is your name written down?  Thank God for the redeeming cleansing blood of Jesus.

We read in the Bible.  “Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth” (Luke 15:10).  The angels rejoice when someone accepts Jesus as Saviour.  Thank God for the cleansing redeeming blood of Jesus.  What a loving Saviour we have!
