THESE ARE THEY!

 

Rev 7:13-14

13 And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?

14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

 

           When one of the 24 elders asked John to describe and define the inhabitants of heaven, he said “I don’t know, but you can surely inform me.” This the elder was happy to do. He said, “These are they who have endured persecutions and troubles of every kind but that did not buy their pardon. No, these are they who have obtained their pardon and purity by the blood of the lamb.”

 

           Because they are washed, they have free access to the throne. They will never again hunger or thirst. They will never again feel the discomfort of excessive heat or cold.

 

           The Lamb will most tenderly wipe away every tear from their eyes. In a fatherly manner, God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and all causes of distress and grief. They shall have pure, unmixed happiness. This is the happiness of those who are washed from their sins. Are you washed?

 

Isa 1:18

18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

 

 

Gentle Shepherd, thank you for washing me in your precious blood. AMEN
