Blessed Is He That Readeth

"BLESSED IS HE THAT READETH" (Rev. 1 : 3). The book of Revelation is the only one of the sixty-six constituting the Holy Scriptures in which a benediction is at the beginning pronounced on the reader. The divine Author foresaw that men would be disposed to neglect the study of it because of its mysterious depths and wonderful symbols; and was it not on that account that this word of encouragement was given? "Whether we fully comprehend it or not," says Dr. Bonar, "let us study it. Each perusal will give a new insight into its visions; we shall take on the mold and impress of its truths, even unconsciously, in the simple childlike reading of it." —Messiah's Herald.
