Topic: Jesus – The Coming King
Text: Revelation 19: 11-16
12His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
Key Verse: “And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.” Revelation 19:16
Message
Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. This means He is the greatest King who rules over every other king that lives. He is the highest authority in heaven and earth and rules over everyone. Jesus Christ came into the world as Saviour and Messiah. He came in a lowly and humble state to die on the cross for our sins. After completing His mission on earth, He went back triumphantly to heaven. Now, He is seated at the right hand of the Almighty God waiting for His second coming.
Very soon, Jesus will come back to earth not as a babe in the manger, but as King of kings and Lord of lords. He is coming from heaven as the Warrior – Messiah to establish truth and justice, to judge the nations and to wage war against evil. When Christ returns to earth, He will punish all the wicked and put an end to evil doings. It will be a terrible time of judgment that no sinner can escape. Now is the time to repent so as to escape the judgment. Friends of Jesus are warned many times in the Bible of the need to watch and pray. Live a holy life and get ready to go with Jesus in the rapture.
Further Reading: Matthew 25:31,32
Prayer for today: Lord, I don’t want to miss the rapture, help me to be watchful and prayerful.
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)
