If you read the suggested passage each day, by the end of 30 days you will have read the entire New Testament.
Day 30
30-day reading plan: Revelation 12 – 22
Daily Verse: Revelation 22: 21
The grace of the Lord Jesus be with God’s people. Amen.
When I think of the beginning of the New Testament, I think of the beginning of John’s Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” It begins in much the same way as the book of Genesis: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” There seems to be a beginning of something, whether time or creation. But, if there was a beginning of time, then there would have had to have been a beginning of God.
Physicist Stephen Hawking believed he proved there was a beginning of time in his dissertation. His work seemed to explain that there was no God because there was a beginning of time. In his later work, he disproved his theory and proved that there was no beginning of time. With this new revelation, his faithful wife was hopeful that he may yet come to have faith in God.

By faith and the witness of Scripture, there was a beginning of creation, but not a beginning of God. God is and was and is to come. God was the One who created everything out of a formless void into the Heaven and Earth. God is eternal and will care for us through eternity. Revelation tells us that Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end of creation. Heaven and Earth and all that is in them will be made new.
And, through it all, we will have the grace of Jesus because we are God’s people. There is only one thing we need to know about all of Scripture, especially the book of Revelation, as professor Jerry Sumney says, God wins! No matter what we have faced or will face, no matter the past, God will be victorious as we see in the Resurrection.
Question for reflection:
If we are a people of the resurrection, what in your life needs resurrecting?
