In this exploration of Revelation 7:9-17, Rev. Maggie Lanes invites you to witness a breath taking vision of hope amidst apocalyptic imagery.
The passage reveals a powerful image of a countless multitude from every nation, tribe, and tongue, standing before God's throne in white robes, reminding us that God's salvation reaches far beyond our human divisions, embracing a truly global family of believers. As humanity today grapples with many challenges, this vision can offer comfort and reassurance., telling us that no matter how dire circumstances may appear, God's plan for redemption is vast and inclusive.
The paradoxical imagery of white robes and palm branches symbolising victory and purity, yet achieved through the blood of the Lamb, challenge all to see beyond surface appearances and recognise the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice.
So, as you face the trials and tribulations of life, be encouraged to persevere, knowing that God promises to wipe away every tear and lead you to springs of living water, so then to embody this inclusive love in your life and community, breaking down barriers and extending grace to all.The GMC ‘ENCOUNTER’ Podcast is a production of Gillespie Memorial Church, Chapel Street, Dunfermline, Scotland.
