Good morning beloved, happy Lord’s Day,
“I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen.”
(Revelation 1:18).
The Apostle John is often called John the Revelator because he wrote the Book of Revelation. The Lord Jesus Christ revealed to him the events of the end times.
We all like books or movies that have stirring endings, that bring them to an exciting finale. The book of Revelation is the greatest ending of all. His ending doesn’t just say, “The End.” It says, “The End, Amen.”
Our blessed Lord gave John a fitting way to introduce the book in Revelation 1:19, “Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this.”
Just as Genesis is the beginning, Revelation is the ending. This book is often hard to understand, but it so important to our faith and our understanding of God’s eternal plan.
Jesus said the wonderful words, “I am He who lives.” He is a risen Savior, seated at the right hand of God, and coming again. The message of the gospel is that Christ died for our sins, He was buried, and He rose again. All other religious leaders are in their graves, Jesus is is not, He rose from the dead and is alive forevermore!
Because He lives, we live also and will live forever with Him in heaven. Many have preceded us to glory and soon we will join them. In the mean time, we live for Him and serve Him, we tell others about Him.
Have a blessed Lord’s Day. The King is coming. Let us use every waking moment for our Lord Jesus Christ. Stay safe and healthy.
Jesus is our greatest aspiration, inspiration, and motivation for living.
