In The Spirit
“I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day” (Revelation 1:10).
This statement was made by the Apostle John while in exile on the Isle of Patmos. On that particular Lord’s day, also referred to as the “first day of the week” (Acts 20:7), John was in such a state of soul that he could receive a special revelation from the Lord.
We too can have precious thoughts of the Lord’s person and work if we are in such a state. Today we do not receive new revelation like John did, but we can have fresh enjoyment from meditating on the Scriptures, which bring before us our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, in one way or another.
On this Lord’s day let’s be in such an attitude that the Spirit of God can bring before us “the things concerning Himself” (Luke 24:27). This will produce true worship and praise. Then, like John, our hearts will burst forth,
“Unto Him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in His own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and His Father; to Him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen” (Revelation 1:5-6).
