Revelation Commentary
John from Kentucky:
Jesus is perfect and without sin because He is Almighty God.
His name in Hebrew is Yahweh, which is the third person singular of the verb "to be". It means "He is coming". When He comes, He brings salvation.
The Apostles may or may not be the greatest in the Kingdom. Jesus will decide. Jesus said the first will be last and the last will be first.

Hi John from Kentucky,
I thought Jesus had His Father to help Him as Jesus could do nothing WITHOUT HIS FATHER - John5:19, John5:30 - I am confused!

Johnny, what Paul says in 1 Corenthians 4 (whole chapter) but not included; pretty much states his case about how he views himself and salvation.
4 This, then, is how you ought to regard us: as servants of Christ and as those entrusted with the mysteries God has revealed. 2 Now it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful. 3 I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself. 4 My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God.
9For it seems to me that God has put us apostles on display at the end of the procession, like those condemned to die in the arena. We have been made a spectacle to the whole universe, to angels as well as to human beings. 10 We are fools for Christ, but you are so wise in Christ! We are weak, but you are strong! You are honored, we are dishonored! 11 To this very hour we go hungry and thirsty, we are in rags, we are brutally treated, we are homeless. 12 We work hard with our own hands. When we are cursed, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it; 13 when we are slandered, we answer kindly. We have become the scum of the earth, the garbage of the world—right up to this moment.

Hi Wanda,
So well pointed out by you what Paul's perspective was on his commission. The summation is at the end when God evaluates all these things. They were truly a sacrifice for us all - all people!!! Great insight Wanda!!!

Such humility Johnny. It's enough to make me cry. I can't believe we will one day speak with these loving brothers. Hope is a beautiful thing.
