The lion is a powerful and majestic creature mentioned in many verses of the Bible. It symbolizes strength, courage, and authority. In the Old Testament, the lion is often used to represent God’s power and sovereignty. For example, in the book of Amos, it is written, “The lion hath roared; who will not fear? The Lord hath spoken; who can but prophesy?” (Amos 3:8).
In the New Testament, the lion is associated with Jesus Christ, who is referred to as the “Lion of the tribe of Judah” (Revelation 5:5). This title emphasizes Jesus’ authority and kingship. Just as a lion is a fearsome and dominant presence in the animal kingdom, Jesus is the greatest Ruler and Conqueror. The Bible portrays the lion as a protector and deliverer which is who Jesus is for all His friends.
The lion serves as a powerful symbol in the Bible, representing God’s strength, Jesus’ authority, and the believer’s trust in God’s protection. The lion represents Jesus as the victorious King who reigns over all creation. Open your heart to Jesus, the Lion of Judah to reign and rule over you.

Prayer for today: The Lion of the tribe of Judah, I surrender my life to You.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
