Scripture – “The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. 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. 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.”
Revelation 1:14-18 NIV
Observation – Above is John’s description of Jesus when he saw him in Revelation Chapter 1. John describes Jesus as having eyes like blazing fire, feet like bronze glowing in a furnace and a double edged sword coming out of his mouth. This is an image of strength, power and judgement.
Application – Jesus is all powerful, he could judge the world today and put an end to all evil and injustice. In his mercy he has allowed the world to continue it its current state so that people have time to repent of their sins and follow him. Have you repented? You don’t have forever, God has appointed a day of judgement as described in Hebrews 9:27, “Just as man is destined to die once and after that face the judgement”. If you die in your sins, rejecting Jesus’ sacrifice, you will go to hell. If you die in Christ you will be brought into eternity with Jesus and live with him and enjoy him forever.
Prayer – Lord, thank you for your mercy. I pray that people would repent today, before it is too late. Amen.
