"Desperate people who throw themselves at the feet of Jesus always get the most." @ChrisRattay #Mark2 #themanwithleprosy #ifyouarewilling #youcanmakemeclean

"Following Jesus requires courage that you don't currently have. It requires power that you don't currently possess... Life is messy. Life with Jesus is even messier." @cjrattay #GospelOfMatthew

"Jesus became the king, by becoming a lamb, not by being a violent, blood-thirsty lion. That is how he established his rule of all the world." @ChrisRattay #Revelation14

"The question is never, "Will the Spirit fill me?" The question is always, "Which spirit - of all the spirits & mindsets & powers in the world - which spirit will I open myself up to?" @ChrisRattay #Revelation14

"The question is not, "Am I a disciple? The question is always, "Whose disciple will I be?" since everyone is following, imitating someone or something." @ChrisRattay #Revelation14

"We tend to overly focus in human power. But even at it's best or worst, human power - individual or corporate - is incomplete, inadequate." @davidkitani #Revelation13

"Jesus reigns by entering into our suffering & taking all of the hurt & violence & evil in the world, absorbing it & thus diffusing it of its power. This is how the Lion rules as a Lamb on the throne." @ChrisRattay #Revelation5

"Jesus is no fool for taking on our suffering. He is no punk or wimp for entering into weakness. The bloody, slaughtered lamb sits on the throne in the center of the universe. And so only those who embrace Jesus & his life of sacrificial love will win in the end." @ChrisRattay

"The slain & bloody lamb on the throne confirms for us that Jesus reigns with us in our suffeting. He suffers with us, continually." @ChrisRattay #Revelation5

"The scroll in the right hand of God, who sits on the throne, is God's plan. It tells us there is order behind the chaos of our fallen world. But no one, no angel, no creature, not one person is worthy to break the seal & open the scroll & execute the plan of God." @ChrisRattay

"Heaven is dimension that intersects with all of reality, but sin distorts or hides our vision of Heaven. Only in Jesus is our vision of Heaven restored." @ChrisRattay #Revelation5

"The last book of the Bible tells us, 'Things are not as they seem.' Our world looks like chaos reigns. Our world seems shows us suffering reigns. But Revelation shows us that God reigns on the throne of the world." @ChrisRattay #Revelation5

"Chaos can create scars, but it doesn't rule this world. Chaos submits to the one on the throne. Therefore, we can have peace & joy in the midst of chaos." @ChrisRattay #Revelation4

"John sees a thrown room... Not for some later time in the future... not far away... he is not whisked away to go there. Thus throne room is right there in his midst. John is told, "Behold. Look. See with new eyes." @ChrisRattay #Revelation4

"Apocalyptic literature speaks to our emotions through our imagination, via exaggerated images." @ChrisRattay #Revelation4

"Jesus, im condemning lust as adultery, is lifting up the value of women, not merely condemning an action." @ChrisRattay

"God commands come out of his character, therefore he commands against adultery because he would never cheat on us." @ChrisRattay #Exodus #10commandments

"When God provides a miracle, a sign, to point ys to a greater reality. We then have to ask, "what is the greater reality? The greater reality is Jesus himself." @ChrisRattay #MiracleoftheLoavesandFish

"There may be suffering or adversity along the way, but Jesus provides." @ChrisRattay #John4 #MiracleoftheLoavesandFish
