revelation 1:9-20
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. Then he placed his right hand on me and said: “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. 18 I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.
john's vision of Christ---
i love the details of the vision that is given in revelation. verses 12-16 describe Christ's return being the most radiant image: golden sash, eyes blazing fire, hair white as wool and snow, feet glowing, voice like rushing waters.. His face, especially "was like sun shining in all its brilliance".. the image in my mind when i read this passage is truly the most beautiful imagination anyone could ever have...
our God is the "First and the Last" .. last week, He revived me- through the mass amount of scripture that we studied, He spoke to me and told me that He would provide in any circumstance. all this certain, but in return, i need to be faithful.. not to rely on myself, but to rely on Him and His radiance.
He's the living one. His love captures us all. how can we not choose to believe?
