Wednesday – March 6th – Revelation 20:12b     -----     
 
    20:12) I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God’s throne. And the books were opened, including the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books.
 
The Daily Walk Bible inspirational thought for today:
     A PERSON CAN’T GO ANYWHERE WHILE HE OR SHE IS STRADDLING A FENCE.*

     Hello Wednesday!   Just a quick reminder that it is not to late to join the Journey Of A Lifetime Bible Study on Wednesday evening at 6:30pm. We will be in the second of a six-week study on the Book of Revelation. Last week we covered the introduction to the book along with chapter one. This Wednesday we will discuss chapters two and three – Jesus’ letters to the seven churches of Revelation. You can join us in person at SunRise or live-stream at 6:30pm. On-demand options for any of the classes are available on the SunRise Church YouTube channel.

     In our pick verse today, we continue to look at verse number twelve as John records God’s judgement of both the great and small of humanity. The other book mentioned in this verse is simply entitled “the Book of Life”. This book looks at human destiny from the basis of divine sovereignty. The Book of Life has already made its way into Revelation three times (3:5, 13:8, 17:8), functioning as a citizenship register of Heaven’s future occupants. The only names written in this book are those who have been saved by faith in Jesus as their savior. This exact same group who believes in Jesus as the Christ are those whose deeds are accounted for in the other set of books mentioned in this verse. Those whose names are not written in the Book of Life will not then have righteous deeds recorded to their account in the other set of books in this chapter.

Blessings
