"The Bible is a book of majestic outlook, telling us of the future in great brush strokes much like an artist painting a picture across the sky. The size is so tremendous that you have to stand back to take it all in. The fine details are lost in the grandeur of the Blessed Hope that Jesus is coming. Even though I am not sure of the time schedule, as long as I am on the train, going in the right direction, it does not really matter what the schedule is." - A.W. Tozer, Preparing for Jesus' Return

Reflection:

When you think of the Day of the Lord, what concerns you most?

What encourages you most?

Follow UP in the Word through the Week...

Monday:

Read: Acts 2:19-21

As Peter preaches and references the "Day of the Lord", what does he point out and how is that helpful to you?

Tuesday:

Read: Hebrews 4:12-13

What does Hebrews point to in these verses regarding what and who we are examined by? What is the importance of the word?

Wednesday:

Read: Deuteronomy 30:1-10

What is the promise to the people of Israel found in these verses? What are some of the details that Moses includes in this promise?

Thursday:

Read: Revelation 21:2-4

What part of these verses helps you to understand the future of those who follow Jesus?

Friday:

Read: Joel 2:32

Peter in his sermon in Acts 2 references this passage and then Paul in Romans 10:13. What "name" is Peter and Paul referring to? What does it mean to call upon the Name of the Lord?

Saturday:

Read: Romans 11

How does Paul describe the way in which the people of Israel will be handled by the Lord in the future? How does this square with the treatment of the Jewish people today?
