Text: Revelation 19
Hymn: 566, By Grace I’m Saved
Kretzmann Commentary: Revelation 19
Bonus Bumper: Johnny Cash, American IV: The Man Comes Around, title track.

Revelation 19 prepares readers for the final battle. The saints rejoice in Heaven at the marriage feast of the Lamb, and those who opposed the Lord are turned into bird food.

566 is one of my favorite hymns, promoting trust in Christ for our salvation. Special thanks to a new special guest, Linda Schramke Rein, for providing the accompaniment.

Text: 1 John 3
Hymn: 633, At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing
Kretzmann Commentary: 1 John 3
Bonus Bumper: Maranatha, Behold What Manner of Love

If we are “weak on santification,” it is our Old Adam who is weak on its own sanctification. The New Adam, daily rising out of baptism, makes no practice of sin but hopes in God, believing in the atonement on the cross for his righteousness. The Holy Spirit calls, gathers, enlightens, and sanctifies the whole Christian church on earth — and He is not weak.

Special thanks to Sam Mussmann for singing with us this week.

Text: 2 Peter 3
Hymn: 472, These Things Did Thomas Count as Real
Kretzmann Commentary: 2 Peter 3
Bonus Bumper: Schola Hungarica, Dies Irae

Thomas’s doubt came from his certainty of how things are. “Until his fingers read like braille the markings of the spear and nail” is a modern yet faithful interpretation of Thomas’s desire. This is a good hymn about moving from doubt to faith.

Some time in the future I hope to chat with Stephen R. Johnson, who wrote REALITER for this hymn. We exchanged pleasantries on Facebook, but I will have to wait until I’m on the road before I can spend an evening on the phone with him.

The day of the Lord is coming, my friends; it only appears slow because our God wants everyone to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth.

Thanks to Anna Baseley and her brother John (who mixes) for their contributions to the hymn.
