“And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of the saints,” Commentary: Why are our prayers to God as perfume and a fragrance to him? Why do our prayers have a great value to God? Does God need our prayers? Why are they a great value to him? Prayers are a sacrifice! We could be doing something else! Right! I have the laundry to do! I need to fix my car! I have to run to the grocery store! I have to be to work! Today is my only day off! What is Jesus doing right now at the right hand of the Father? Interceding for the Saints! His sacrifice for us did not stop at the Cross! Jesus right now is at the right hand of the Father doing what? Praying for the Saints! He could be doing something else! His sacrifices for us continue! The Kingdom of God is a sacrificial system! When you pray you pray for others also! You sacrifice your time, money, body, soul and spirit for others! Satan sacrifices others for himself! God has sacrificed himself for you! The Cross! Just opposites! Light and darkness! What we do with sacrifice determines who we follow! Judas sacrificed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver! Some politicians will sacrifice people for their gains! Others will sacrifice themselves for the people! A pastor will either sacrifice people for his gain or will sacrifice his life for the people! Do I sacrifice myself for my family or do I sacrifice my family for gain? Do I abandon them for some personal gain? Jesus asked us to do something that he himself does for us! Pray! James & Hamsa Sasse. IndiaJesusLovesYou.com
