Greek Translation: “And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed for my sake and worthy are those that have naturally died in the Lord who executes authority for good from this point forward. Yes saith the Spirit or breath of God that they may rest from their labors and their works of spreading the Gospel following them and preceding him.” Comment: One of the most fascinating words used in this passage of scripture in the English word “Follow.” The Greek word used here for follow really has two meanings! It means to follow and it means to go before! This is significant because although we follow after Jesus at the same time we go before him! That is in regards to his second coming! When you spread the Gospel into the earth you are also preparing the way just like John the Baptist did! Like the Old Testament Prophets did for his first coming! This helps us to understand this verse in the Book of Revelation! As you follow Christ you prepare the way for his second coming for others! To prepare people to escape the final judgment! This is why Evangelism is exponential! You share the love of God with just one person then that person tells another! Those younger generations pick up the truth and tell even younger people about Jesus! Sometimes you tell people older than you and they receive Christ before they pass on and later you meet them in heaven! It is interesting but we attended a large church for about ten years and the Pastor one Sunday asked the congregation how many have come to Christ through this ministry? One person out of a thousand raised their hand! Our Pastor understood the importance of personal Evangelism! When I came to Christ in 1973 in Denver Colorado at Calvary Temple Pastor Blair passed on about 10 years ago! His work follows him! If the work of Christ does not follow you then something is wrong! You are not following the Savior! James and Hamsa Sasse. GodWhoisGod.com
