“…Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelation 5:5b
It is overwhelming the sins and evil in our lives today. Yet Jesus has remained the authority and power of all creation. Imagine seeing what John saw in the passage above. The scroll seems to represent the Judgement in finality for all. No one is Holy enough to save like Jesus did and does. The fact of His position of Judge and savior is a source of confusion and frustration to the the natural mind.
Perhaps, you and I have these competing themes of God in our minds in order to make it clear as crystal Jesus is Holy and unique. The war of our thoughts can be healed with just one touch from Jesus healing hand. However, the peace and healing can fall away in the Holy light which exposes our true selves. God is gracious and good, but never fake or small. The horror of His judgements and the healing of His love come together in the Cross. He over came death! He reigns FORVER! Bow before Jesus. The horror of our deeds in the darkness are no match to His Majesty. Come into His kingdom just as you are.
JESUS IS ABLE
