The little scroll.

Revelation 10:10, And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.

The good news of the cross is that only to those who have heard and believe in Jesus, an amazing sweetness. As we receive His word we also recognize that one day there is a judgment coming and we need Him to be able to stand. Considering that “all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,” are we faithful in bringing His message to others even if it is not pleasant?

Give us Your boldness to bring Your good news to others!
