He unrolls the scroll

and opens the seven seals.

that flashes from the East

and shines unto the West.

that all nations march under.

in majesty and wrath,

His kingdom has come!

The earth becomes God's kingdom.

We shall take up our places

as created beings

and worship the God who was,

who is, and is to come!

Almighty God is the Lamb,

man's only Redeemer.

The only way man is saved

is through Him.

Almighty God is the truth,

the way, the life.

from Follow the Lamb and Sing New Songs

“Although the Lord Jesus was resurrected, His heart and His work had not left mankind. He told people with His appearance that no matter what form He existed in, He would accompany people, walk with them, and be with them at all times and in all places. And at all times and all places, He would provide to mankind and shepherd them, allow them to see and touch Him, and make sure they never again feel helpless. The Lord Jesus also wanted people to know this: Their lives in this world are not alone. Mankind has God’s care, God is with them; people can always lean on God; He is the family of every one of His followers. With God to lean on, mankind will no longer be lonely or helpless, and those who accept Him as their sin offering will no longer be bound in sin. In human eyes, these portions of His work that the Lord Jesus carried out after His resurrection were very small things, but the way I see it, every single thing was so meaningful, so valuable, and they were all so important and weighty.”

12. Jesus’ Words to His Disciples After His Resurrection

(John 20:26-29) And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the middle, and said, Peace be to you. Then said he to Thomas, Reach here your finger, and behold my hands; and reach here your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. And Thomas answered and said to him, My LORD and my God. Jesus said to him, Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

(John 21:16-17) He said to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you know that I love you. He said to him, Feed my sheep. He said to him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, love you me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Love you me? And he said to him, Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep.

In the last days, the mood of Christians awaiting the return of the Lord Jesus becomes more intense, but how, exactly, will the Lord return? Some say, "The Lord Jesus will come with clouds." Others say, "The prophecies predicting His return also state, 'Behold, I come as a thief' (Rev 16:15). 'But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation' (Luk 17:25). 'And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him' (Mat 25:6). If He comes with clouds for all to see, how do we explain the mystery of Him coming in secret, suffering, and being rejected, as well as saying that others will testify about His return?" How will the Lord appear to us? The humorous crosstalk How Exactly Does the Lord Come attempts to resolve our doubts about the issue.

"Today, let’s talk about the true meaning of these words from God 'it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.' That is demystifying how God fulfills the words 'it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.'"

3. The Parable of the Lost Sheep

(Matt 18:12-14) How think you? if a man have an hundred sheep, and one of them be gone astray, does he not leave the ninety and nine, and goes into the mountains, and seeks that which is gone astray? And if so be that he find it, truly I say to you, he rejoices more of that sheep, than of the ninety and nine which went not astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.

Only You Can Save Me

I

Humble and hidden,

You accompany people

through their hardships,

granting them the way to eternal life.

You deeply love humans

as Your own flesh and blood.

And You are worthy of their love.

You would rather Yourself suffer,

allowing man to get the benefit.

And You rain life down upon them.

Your heart is truly beautiful,

You are so righteous

and worthy of man's praise.

Your words conquer me.

Your judgment purifies me.

Only You can save me.

You prune and deal with me,

test and refine me.

Only You can perfect me. Only You.

II

Your love carries me

through the road of tribulation,

and I taste sweetness.

Fully aware that man is weak,

You can empathize with them.

How could man ever forget You?

You live with people

and lead them in person (in person),

giving them something to rely on

(something to rely on).

You suffer first,

acting as the perfect example.

And Your love is among man.

Your words conquer me.

Your judgment purifies me.

Only You can save me.

You prune and deal with me,

test and refine me.

Only You can perfect me.

III

Your love is precious.

Your love is most beautiful.

You have left Your true feelings

among man.

If I believed in You

but couldn't give You my whole heart,

I would spend my life regretting it.

If I believed in You,

but couldn't be loyal,

then how could I be human?

(Hah … hah … hah … hah …)

Your words conquer me.

Your judgment purifies me.

Only You can save me.

You prune and deal with me,

test and refine me.

Only You can perfect me.

Your love is precious.

Your love is most beautiful.

You have left Your true feelings

among man.

Only You can save me.

Only You can perfect me.

O God! I Don't Deserve Your Love

I

So many tears shed for myself.

So much pain endured for myself.

So many long roads walked for myself.

So many times counted

gains and losses.

So many times

my desires were dashed.

Often I'd think of leaving God.

But His love would hold me close,

with His fingers locked in mine.

Leading me away from passiveness.

Leading me away one step at a time.

So often I would turn to walk away,

but His love would hold me close.

His words split my sinful soul,

leaving me nowhere to hide

with my shame.

II

Often I've doubted and wandered.

Couldn't resist Satan's temptation.

So many times

sought fame and status.

Stubborn, never tried to give them up.

O God, this is who I am!

I don't deserve Your love or salvation.

If Your word didn't lead and guide,

I couldn't progress one step.

Leading me away from passiveness.

Leading me away one step at a time.

So often I would turn to walk away,

but Your love would hold me close.

You give me Your life and truth.

I have now been saved by You.

III

O God! No longer passive,

I won't backslide.

I'll put truth into practice,

live by Your word.

O God! Chastise and judge me,

refine me,

make me clean for salvation.

Leading me away from passiveness.

Leading me away one step at a time.

Leading me away from passiveness.

Leading me away one step at a time.

So often I would turn to walk away,

but Your love would hold me close.

You give me Your life and truth.

I have now been saved by You.

Leading me away (leading me away)

from passiveness.

Leading me away (leading me away)

one step at a time.

You give me Your life and truth.

I have now been saved by You.

I have now been saved by You.

Pure Love Without Blemish

I

Love is a pure emotion,

pure without a blemish.

Use your heart, use your heart

to love and feel and care.

Love doesn't set conditions

or barriers or distance.

Use your heart, use your heart

to love and feel and care.

If you love you don't deceive,

grumble, turn your back,

look to get something in return.

If you love you'd sacrifice,

accept hardship

and be one with God in harmony.

II

In love there's no suspicion,

no cunning, no deceit.

Use your heart, use your heart

to love and feel and care.

In love there is no distance

and nothing that's not pure.

Use your heart, use your heart

to love and feel and care.

If you love you don't deceive,

grumble, turn your back,

look to get something in return.

If you love you'd sacrifice,

accept hardship

and be one with God in harmony.

III

You would give your family,

youth and future you may see,

give your marriage up for God;

you would give your all for Him.

You would give your family,

youth and future you may see,

give your marriage up for God;

you would give your all for Him.

Or your love's no love at all,

but deceit, betrayal of God.

IV

Love is a pure emotion,

pure without a blemish.

Use your heart, use your heart

to love and feel and care.

Love doesn't set conditions

or barriers or distance.

Use your heart, use your heart

to love and feel and care.
