And they overcame
him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they
loved not their lives unto the death.
The book of John describes the threefold ministry of the Holy Spirit
after Jesus’ death on the cross: to convict the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment. The sin was covered by the blood of the Lamb, which
is available to all who will believe in Him. The righteousness of God is our
inheritance through belief in Jesus Christ, and He is the Word; and this is the
word of our testimony. The judgment of the righteous, which takes place at the
judgment seat of Christ, is for those that do not love their lives in the face
of death. The wicked will face the Father of Spirits at the Great White Throne
for an entirely different judgment.
On this Passover, let us uphold all those persecuted
believers around the world who are standing strong, boldly witnessing to the
glory of God and declaring their faith in His only begotten Son, regardless of
their personal safety. May the Lord deliver them all supernaturally from the death
angel; may He shake the bars and doors of prisons around the world where
Christians are being tortured for their witness; and may He restore families
who have been torn apart because they refuse to hide their Light in the midst
of the gross darkness that is sweeping the earth in these last days. Visit
