More Than I Deserve!

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
September 14, 2022: SOAP #4668: Ezekiel 36-37; Psalm 110; Revelation 19

SCRIPTURE:  Revelation (NIV) 19:11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no-one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

OBSERVATION:  There are many portraits of Jesus in the Bible, but in these verses we have His final portrait. The one once lying in a manger is now seated on a white horse.  The son of Mary is now the Commander-in-Chief.  His words which were gracious are now a sharp sword.  The gentle man who blest little children is now the dispensing God’s wrath.  The one followed by twelve fishermen is now followed by the armies of heaven!  The suffering sacrifice is now the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS!  He is the glorious LORD of Glory! 

APPLICATION: This is my Jesus.  This is the one I love and Who loves me!  I want my thoughts, my decisions, my words, and my actions to reveal to the world what an honor it is to have Him as my Lord!  The honor is more than I deserve.  It humbles me. 

PRAYER:  Lord, you are worthy; I worship you! Amen.
