The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne

Bible Reading: Revelation 7

Revelation 7:17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.

The leadership of the Lamb is the destiny of the saints. Here in Revelation 7, we meet a 'great multitude' who are praising the Lamb. When John sees these people, he is informed by one of the elders that they are those who have come out of great tribulation.

Revelation 7:14 And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowest. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.

These are people who are saved during the time of the Great Tribulation. They were not raptured with the church, but were saved after the church went to heaven. They have been persecuted and martyred by the antichrist and now stand before the throne.

If you are saved now, you already know the Lamb. Isn't it wonderful to know that the Lamb will feed you? You can trust him. He will lead you to fountains of waters. It is interesting that the Shepherd of Psalm 23 is also the Lamb of Revelation. Our God is also our Sacrifice. He took our place and we can be clean from sin because of his blood.

Do you have tears? Of course, this life has much pain and sorrow. Don't worry, God will one day wipe away all those tears. He will lead us. Let's follow the Lamb!

In Christ,
