Reign of Jesus
“Then one of the elders said to me, “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 5:5 (NIV)
Jesus will soon unseal the title deed of earth and take His throne back from Satan and the kings of this world. Not only did the Son of God redeem the souls of sinners at Calvary, but He also redeemed all His creation from the hands of the devil who has had his oppressing control on earth’s affairs since Eden.
Soon and very soon, Jesus will return to claim His creation. We may have wondered why He has delayed His claim, but He is long-suffering and not wishing that anyone should parish. He has compassion on us and desires that no opportunity to be saved be cut short in haste.
Let’s pray today that our hope may grow stronger for the day that our Lord returns to reigns.
