Faithful and True

Bible Reading: Revelation 19

Revelation 19:11-13 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. 12 His 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. 13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Here we see Jesus, our King returning to make a righteous war. You and I have never seen a righteous war. We have seen the kinds of wars that men make and both sides say they are righteous. Jesus however, is Faithful and True. What a wonderful thought - our God is faithful and true.

Jesus always does what he says he will do - faithful. He always tells the truth - true. Here we see the return of the king. He promised he would come again and he will. His eyes are a flame of fire. Can you imagine how terrible this sight will be to men and women who do not know him? Those fiery eyes see all. Nothing is hidden from his sight.

His vesture is dipped in blood. There will be much bloodshed at the Second Coming of our Lord. Too bad because now is the day of grace. Anyone who will receive him may be forgiven. But many men will not. They hate the name of Jesus.

His name is called the Word of God. That is what John said when he introduced him - In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God (John 1:1).

The Word came in the flesh to seek and save that which was lost. The Word will come again to bring vengeance upon his enemies. I pray that you will receive him as your Savior and Lord now so that when he does come again, you can be with him and not against him!

In Christ,
