Encountering Jesus
Reading: Revelation 1:12-18
The description of Jesus in Revelation gives us a glimpse of His glory and power. This isn't just the humble carpenter from Nazareth, but the risen, glorified King of Kings. When we truly encounter Jesus in His majesty, it changes everything. The disciples' question, "Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!" is answered definitively in this passage. He is the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Living One. Today, spend time meditating on this description of Jesus. How does this majestic vision of Christ impact your view of your current circumstances? How might it change the way you approach Him in prayer?
Prayer: King of Kings, thank You for revealing Your majesty and power. Let this vision of Your glory transform my perspective on life’s challenges. Help me approach You with reverence and awe, confident in Your sovereignty over all creation. May Your greatness bring peace to my heart, knowing that You hold everything in Your hands. In Your powerful name, Amen.
