Earth’s Judge and King
“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 wages war.” Revelation 19:11 (NIV)
Some push a Jesus meek and mild to fit Him into their political view, but we know Him as the coming Judge and King. Yes, He is compassionate as His mercy reaches out to the sin struggling soul, but to those who have intentionally rejected His righteousness and hardened their hearts against truth, He will come back to earth in the fury of a parent delivering their children from the bully’s infliction.
The Lord is Savior to all who humbly call upon Him for redemption, but He is a Warrior toward those who war against Him and His own. We have hope because He is going to take His creation back and restore this planet to its original intent as the home of the saved.
Let’s pray today that men would study the Scriptures and yield their character to our Lord Jesus Christ.
