Revelation
1:17-18
As we walk this
earth we are reminded that we have nothing to fear; understand that there is
nothing in this world or of this world that can overtake the will and plan that
God has for your life… The revelation revealed to John teaches us that before
us God was there and in the end He will still remain… Jesus indeed did die as
all human will; however, spiritually the bible says that He gave up the ghost
and it is by His spirit that we have nothing to fear, by His spirit we can
overcome mountains and receive life and life more abundantly… Notice the
blessing and strength given unto the Children of God in this passage. It tells
us to FEAR NOT, so many of us are worried about what the future holds,
where we will be in the next couple of years, will we find that special someone,
will we be happy and have a stable job and income. John reminds us through the
sacrifice of Jesus that we have nothing to fear. We don’t have to worry; we don’t have to be confused, or unstable in
our actions on this earth. Jesus declares that he was the first and the last.
This means that He was the first to endure hardships, He was the first to go
through the grind of dealing with the penalty of sin, but it also means that He
was the last, He went through the obstacles and defeated every last one of
them. Your sin has already been dealt with, you future already promised to be
fruitful. There is no need for you to fear because God already knows what you
stand and need of and as long as you seek Him first, you will receive all you
need and more… It’s good news for the struggle Christian today, this is a spark
of encouragement for those ready to throw in the towel and give up… Some of
those with mountains of bills staring them in the face may wonder what strength
they can draw from this passage, some may be wondering how it is that they can
continue to run this race and walk in faith… The answers to all these questions
are found in the middle of these two verses; “I am he that liveth, and was
dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore…” Though He was abused, mocked,
beaten and spit on, we know that our savior lives and all power is in His hand…
He is the one who rose on the third day and lives for evermore, and the
greatest thing is that He has the keys to hell and death. Jesus determines
where we spend eternity; this is good news, because we are children of God and
co-heirs with Christ. Being co-heirs tells me that my mortgage for my plot of
land in heaven has already been approved and paid… Knowing that my Salvation is
secured helps me to not become fearful of any man or any circumstance while I
walk this earth… So we need not be worried about the future, we need not be
afraid of the unseen and unknown, but rather embrace every day, look forward to
every challenge and believe that Christ has paid it all and He will return unto
this earth one more time to judge.
Believe that the dead in Christ shall rise, and all the others that remain on
this earth shall be caught up to meet Him in the air. He has gone to prepare a
place for you and me. We each have our own mansion in heaven, and there
will be no more sorrow, no more worry, no more sin, but rather everyday will be
Sunday and our eternal bliss will have no end! Christ died once so that all
mankind would not have to taste death, this is our hope, this is why we don’t
worry nor fret… Christ has the keys and He will open the door of Eternal Life
to those whose hope and trust lies upon His sacrifice on Calvary…
This is my
hope and passion, this is what I rest and look forward to, this is why I don’t
fear the current circumstances and NEITHER SHOULD YOU!!!!!!
BE BLESSED!!
