There is a popular saying I have heard over the years, "Ignorance is bliss." That phrase is witty and it's humorous. In some cases may actually be a decent rule of thumb, as when dinner is set before you and you aren't entirely sure what "it' is.

Well, on a serious level, there is certainly a time when the adage does not work and one example is when it comes to God's Word. Ignorance is done at one's own peril and Jesus says as much in the closing verses of the book.

We complete our journey through Genesis and Revelation today which speak of warning and reward. Reward for the faithful and warning for those who reject. Consequences are spoken of throughout this book and they continue to the very end of this closing chapter.

God's Word was never intended to be an accessory, nor is it to be picked over and used by churches to be some means to an end. God wrote His Word and intended us to know it. "Ignorance is bliss" will not be an excuse for those who have rejected its clear teaching. So much to learn to those who have an ear.

Serious matters to be sure.
