September 14, 2011 -A STUDY OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION- (4)
===============
Continuing our series of lessons....through the book of Revelation:
===============
LETS GO BACK TO....... Revelation 1:5
===============
===============
V.5AA “And from Jesus Christ,”
-THE REASON THIS IS CALLED.... “THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST”-
(Because it’s all about:)
Revealing the Lord Jesus Christ...to us:
--------------------------------------------------
As I have said before:
We learn things about Jesus in this book:
That are found nowhere else!
===============
V.5B “[who is] the faithful witness,”
-WE CAN TRUST THE TESTIMONY......OF JESUS CHRIST-
(Who said everything...the Father wanted Him to:)
------------------------
See Hebrews 1:1,2
--------------------------------------------------
Everything in the book of Revelation:
Can be trusted to be accurate!
===============
V.5C “[and] the first begotten of the dead,”
-THE FIRST PERSON.....TO EVER BE RESURRECTED-
(With....a “gloried body”:)
--------------------------------------------------
-CLUES WE CAN GATHER.....ABOUT OUR COMING GLORIFICATION-
The details of the empty tomb:
And the resurrected Lord’s abilities:
------------------------
Give us clues...about the rapture:
And what our new bodies...will be like!
---------------------------------------------------
Here is what the Word of God has to say about it....
➀Romans 8:29
➁Psalms 17:15
➂1Corinthians 15:49
➃Philippians 3:21
➄1John 3:2
===============
V.5D “and the prince of the kings of the earth.”
-HE IS ACTUALLY....THE KING OF KINGS & LORD OF LORDS-
(Even when the world rejects His authority:)
--------------------------------------------------
And one of these days...He will be:
The actual king of the world:
------------------------
And the world will see:
How wonderful things will be!
===============
-A CHANGE IN SUBJECTS-
Note: The rest of this verse, should have been included in verse 6.
===============
V.5E “Unto him that loved us,”
-PRAISE BEING GIVEN....TO THE LORD JESUS CHRIST-
(We can not praise Him... “too much”:)
--------------------------------------------------
-OUR FIRST REASON.......TO PRAISE HIM-
Because of His great love for us:
------------------------
And what makes this love so great:
Is the fact that we are dirty rotten sinners:
And don’t deserve anything from Him.
===============
V.5F “and washed us from our sins”
-ONE OF OUR GREATEST REASONS.....TO PRAISE HIM-
(Because of the victory over our sins:)
That He has arranged for us:
------------------------
Being forgiven for all of our sin:
Past, Present & future:
Therefore at the Judgement seat of Christ:
Our sins...won’t even be an issue.....
2 Corinthians 5:10
“For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ;
that every one may receive the things [done] in [his] body,
according to that he hath done, whether [it be] good or bad.”
--------------------------------------------------
-THE ONE THING.....NEVER TO FORGET ABOUT THIS VICTORY OVER SIN-
(Of all the hundreds....of the world’s false religions:)
None of them...can fix people’s sin problem:
------------------------
They don’t even pretend to!
===============
V.5G “in his own blood,”
-THE UNIQUE WAY....HE DEALS WITH OUR SIN PROBLEM-
(Our sins...that nothing else can wipe away:)
------------------------
Are washed away....with his own blood:
------------------------------------------------------
Because His blood was special!
