Luke 2:7d because there was no room for them in the inn.

All that have heard the nativity story over and over again may have come to a point where they are so familiar with this line that they overlook the importance of this one line of scripture.

Matthew 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

Jesus sent out His disciples by twos so that in whatsoever houses received them, the gospel was delivered. This delivery of the good news is tied back to the delivery of Christ into this world.

If you have your heart filled with things of this world and you turn away those that have come to deliver Christ into your heart, you have endangered your life.

Matthew 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

Why two disciples? Two issues are required, to receive the gospel as in receive them into your home and to hear the gospel which means to ponder and allow for the possibility that you have heard the truth.

Having witnesses before you is only part of the formula. If you reject offhand their witness, without giving it reasonable consideration, it is no different than slamming the door in their faces.

Witnesses are not salesmen, they are not trying to sell you a bill of goods. They offer truth and life.

“I am sorry, I don’t have time for this!”

Those words may well echo in eternity as a torment of a lost opportunity for salvation.

Is it worth the risk?

The Revelation of Jesus Christ 1:1a The Revelation of Jesus Christ,

We call it Revelation, we label it Revelation, we refer to it as Revelation, but when those scrolls were found a title was given based upon only one word of five which began this book of the bible. Call it convenience, editing, or call it anything you want but it is The Revelation of Jesus Christ.

The Old Testament is The Revelation of Jesus Christ in an historical aspect. He was from the beginning, is seen throughout biblical history, and foretold in His coming to earth as fully man and fully God.

The New Testament is The Revelation of Jesus Christ in His Work and this life we live in the church age. He is a vital part of the living Word. He dwells in us and we dwell in Him.

At the end of the bible is The Revelation of Jesus Christ. If the OT and NT are The Revelation of Jesus Christ historically and experimentally, what aspect of Christ is revealed in this last book?

This is The Revelation of Jesus Christ who sits on the right hand throne of God in all His Glory who reigns from heaven above. This Christ we do not know. He is a mystery beyond are capacity to comprehend. We see glimpses and only glimpses. The reason that people struggle to understand and interpret Revelation scriptures is because they do not acknowledge this is The Revelation of Jesus Christ on the Throne.

Since we are living in Christ, don’t you think it is best we know and understand Christ in us better? The life we live in Christ is the experience of getting to know Him and His will for us in the here and now. If anything of personal value in that last book of the bible is to be found, then it will be discovered in The Revelation of Jesus Christ in us.
