We had our second lesson on the Book of Revelation. Let me highlight the first beatitude in Rev. 1: 3. "Blessed is the one who read the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it." What a wonderful challenge and promise of a special blessing attached to the reading of it. Revelation exalts our Lord Jesus Christ and portrays Him in glory. Note the three verbs - 'read it, hear it and take it to heart.'
We celebrated Pentecost Sunday - the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on that special day. T W Tozer said, "The Spirit filled life is not a special deluxe edition of Christianity. It is part and parcel of the total plan of God for His people."
To me the living of the Spirit filled life is living the normal Christian life. Anything less is subnormal.
