Over-coming is Jesus’ example!
Scripture reading for December 2nd: Revelation 3
Key Scriptures for over-comers: Revelation 3:19-22 “Those I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door; I will come in and eat with Him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I over-came and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear; let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Jesus, Himself, overcame this sinful world, the devil’s schemes and temptations, and even death, hell, and the grave! He stands as an example for all who trust in Him. Jesus desires a personal relationship with each of His disciples. He is not pushy or dominating, but patiently knocks at the door of each heart and calls out their name. If they hear Him and respond to His call, He will come in and have a meal. This teaching requires ears that want to hear and respond!
Observations for over-comers: Being filled with the Spirit of Jesus Christ gives us the heart of an over-comer! “You, O Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light. With Your help, I can advance against a troop; with My God I can scale a wall.” (Psalm 18:28-29)
