DAILY READINGS: Joshua 23; Isaiah 17-18; 2 Thessalonians 2
And there shall in no wise enter into it any thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh abomination, or maketh a lie: but they which are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Revelation 21:27
I run a programme at a local college. Before each class I write the names of those who attend in a book. At the end of term I cook a meal for all my students. Some times though, someone will come to the door and state that they were in my class. I simply open the book and check if their name is on the page. If it is not, there is no entrance. A far greater entrance looms for all of us. God's book lists those who will enter heaven. Is your name written in the Book of Life?—J. Fleming
Book of life! When we departing, bid farewell to friends we love,
Give us, for the life then closing, life, life above. —T. MacKellar
