There Before Me Was A White Horse

I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse,
whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and
makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many
crowns. He has a name written on him that no one but he himself knows.
He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God…

On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Revelations 19:11-13; 16


Star In The East

 

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod,
Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has
been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to
worship him.” When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem
with him.

Matthew 2:1-3

After they had heard the king, they went on their way,
and the star they had seen in the east went ahead of
them until it stopped over the place where the child
was. When they saw the star, they were overjoyed.

Matthew 2: 9,10

On coming to the house, they saw the child with His mother Mary,
and they bowed down and worshiped him.Then they opened their
treasures and presented him with gifts of gold and of incense
and of myrrh.

Matthew 2:11


All My Hope


Many believe – and I believe – that I have been designated
for this work by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want
to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my
hope in Him.

Michelangelo (1475-1564)


Falsely Believe

 

“None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.”

― Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749-1832)


Neither Flattered nor Feared

 

Testimony at the grave of John Knox

‘Here lies one who neither flattered nor feared any flesh.’

James Douglas, 4th Earl of Morton (1516 –1581)


You Will Know

…And you will know that I am the Lord your God.

…And then they will know that I am the Lord God almighty.
