That’s Him

Some time ago I wrote that He left it all.  He did not bring a robe, not a crown, not ten thousand bowing down, not a piece of jasper wall – He left it all.

But, that’s not the rest of the story.  The separation from other religions is resurrection – and the time He spent with his disciples after the resurrection.  That is what makes Christians different.

Yet, that’s still not the rest of the story, either. Those ten thousand bowing down were but a handful.

And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing. (Revelation 5:11-12 KJV)

That’s Him.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. (Revelation 19:11-12 KJV)

That’s Him.

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. (Revelation 19:16 KJV)

Oh, yes, that’s Him!

My Lord spent time on a cross and His earthly body died.  He did not. He lives, even as He told us Himself:

For he is not a God of the dead, but of the living: for all live unto him. (Luke 20:38 KJV)

The Lord, our Lord, is one – and He lives. Of great importance to each of us is whether or not our names are included the Lamb’s Book of Life.  The Bible tells us so.
