In Zechariah 3:5, we see Zechariah asking for a fair mitre to be placed upon the head of Joshua in a vision he is being given from God. And, in Zechariah 6:11 God instructs Zechariah to literally place crowns of gold and silver and set them upon Joshua's head. The vision and the action are …

Seeking Sanctification in Others
Humility is one of the most important characteristics for us as Christians. For Jesus Himself says "I am meek and lowly in heart" and Jesus, in the greatest act of humility "emptied Himself and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion …
“Repaying” The Lord
Of course we cannot repay The Lord for what He has done for us, and Jesus doesn't expect us to: He didn't save us so that we could repay Him. Paul says that what Jesus has accomplished for us through salvation is God's "unspeakable gift." As Jacob said in Genesis, truly, "[we are] not worthy …
A Thousand Times Better
The best place in the world to be is in God's presence: we should be continually seeking this out. David tells us that being in God's presence is the chief thing he desired in life; saying, "One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the …
Obligated to Die
Jesus Christ displayed the most incredible act of love in the history of the world. This very act, from God Himself, Jesus Christ, reveals to us what love truly is. And our Lord Jesus commands us, "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye …
Loving the Bread of God
One of the most interesting things about manna to me is that it is apparently what Angels eat/ate. "Man did eat angels' food: He sent them meat to the full." [Psa 78:25] Think of that! But even though the Israelites were being sustained on Angel's food, they murmured! Even though bread miraculously appeared every day …
The Revelation of Jesus Christ Pt 6, 2:1-7
JESUS' LETTER TO THE CHURCH AT EPHESUS Jesus' letter to Ephesus, the first of seven letters, shows us our great need for devotion to Christ. We must be careful not to forget about the one we are serving, but to take ample time to fellowship with our Lord in love. Before reviewing this letter, look …
Perfect Love Casts out Fear
The LORD, our Father, has made us, formed us from the womb, and chosen us. We are eternally His. And He tells us in Isaiah 44:2-3 "fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jeshrun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground: …
Seven-fold Child of God
What does it mean to be "born of God?" In one of Jesus' most famous conversations, He tells a curious Pharisee, Nicodemus, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." [Jn 3:3] Clearly the answer to this question is of supreme importance. What exactly …
Passionately Resist Pride
"Let not the foot of pride come against me, and let not the hand of the wicked remove me" [Psa 36:11] David cries out to God for purity, that pride would not get a foot hold, and that the wicked wouldn't remove Him. Why? Because He is in the presence of The LORD, filled with …
