And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. –Jeremiah 29:13
...Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee Revelation 22:2-21...
Final things. We wrap up the book of Revelation in this final study of new things. New tree of life, new creation, a new relationship with God and the Lamb. This is all ahead for those who have been saved by the Lord Jesus Christ. Decide today to follow Him. Jesus says, “Yes, I am coming quickly”—but when these things begin to come to pass, He will already be right at the door.

The way to God was opened wide
“Behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent.” At the death of Christ, several very notable things took place, and one was there was an earthquake. The other is that in the temple, the veil was rent. And that veil speaks of His flesh. And when His flesh was rent upon the cross and He paid the penalty for your sin and my sin in His own body on the tree, then the way to God was opened wide so that you can go directly to the throne of God as a sinner, through Christ.
...Daily Promises...
But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep [you] from evil. And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. (2 Thessalonians 3:3-4)
Even as we are faithless, our Father is faithful to love us and faithful to fashion our hearts to resemble His character. From His great love for us, He is our shield and comfort in times of trials and temptations as He delivers us from the enemy. Consideration of this wonderful promise initiates our continued adoration and worship to the God of Most High.

...When God's presence seems to fade...
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. -- Philippians 4:6
There are times that we feel God close by and all is well. But what about those times when His presence seems to fade?

“The sin underneath all our sins is to trust the lie of the serpent that we cannot trust the love and grace of Christ and must take matters into our own hands”

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (April 3rd)
"They took Jesus, and led Him away." — John 19:16
He had been all night in agony, He had spent the early morning at the hall of Caiaphas, He had been hurried from Caiaphas to Pilate, from Pilate to Herod, and from Herod back again to Pilate; He had, therefore, but little strength left, and yet neither refreshment nor rest were permitted Him. They were eager for His blood, and therefore led Him out to die, loaded with the cross. O dolorous procession! Well may Salem's daughters weep. My soul, do thou weep also.
What learn we here as we see our blessed Lord led forth? Do we not perceive that truth which was set forth in shadow by the scapegoat? Did not the high-priest bring the scapegoat, and put both his hands upon its head, confessing the sins of the people, that thus those sins might be laid upon the goat, and cease from the people? Then the goat was led away by a fit man into the wilderness, and it carried away the sins of the people, so that if they were sought for they could not be found. Now we see Jesus brought before the priests and rulers, who pronounce Him guilty; God Himself imputes our sins to Him, "the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all;" "He was made sin for us;" and, as the substitute for our guilt, bearing our sin upon His shoulders, represented by the cross; we see the great Scapegoat led away by the appointed officers of justice. Beloved, can you feel assured that He carried your sin? As you look at the cross upon His shoulders, does it represent your sin? There is one way by which you can tell whether He carried your sin or not. Have you laid your hand upon His head, confessed your sin, and trusted in Him? Then your sin lies not on you; it has all been transferred by blessed imputation to Christ, and He bears it on His shoulder as a load heavier than the cross.
Let not the picture vanish till you have rejoiced in your own deliverance, and adored the loving Redeemer upon whom your iniquities were laid.
