Revelation #74

Great Words for the redeemed this morning!



Revelation 22:13-16

13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”



In verse 13 Jesus reminds us who He is and what those words mean is He always has been and always will be! Amen! In verse 14 we are told once again what it takes to have the right to the tree of life and enter the city gates...washed our robes in the blood of the Lamb. Only by being covers by the shed blood of Jesus Christ may one partake of the fruit and the blessed life of the heavenly city! So my friends have accepted what Christ done for you on the cross? It is the only way to heaven. In verse 15 God describes us! Yes that is right" us" before we accepted Christ. Those who do not accept Christ are still in their sins and will remain outside the gates of heaven and will go to hell not fun to say but a fact.



Then in verse 16 Jesus reminds us who is telling these things, the angel He has sent on His behalf to tell the church! Then Jesus once again reminds us He is before all "the root". Look at these verses:



John 1:1-3



1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.



He also gives us His genealogy line, "a descendant of David". Also He is the "bright morning star" who Balaam foresaw arising from Israel conquering the nations:



Numbers 24:17



17 I see him, but not now;

I behold him, but not near:

a star shall come out of Jacob,

and a scepter shall rise out of Israel;

it shall crush the forehead[a] of Moab

and break down all the sons of Sheth.



Oh what a might Lord we serve and one day soon He will rule all...are you ready???? I am!
