This Week...
Ten bucks says when you think 'Jesus' the idea of 'Soldier' or 'Warrior' isn't the FIRST thing that comes to mind.
Could've chosen MANY images much racier/evocative than the one above but figured I'd avoid any unnecessary grief today.
Soldier.
Warrior.
King.
We'll examine THAT Jesus this week at THE WELL.
Our text(s):
"And they sang a new song, saying; You are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals; for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation and have made us kings and priests to our God; and we shall reign on the earth...now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns, He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS."
-Revelation 5:9-10 & 19:11-16 (NKJV)
Should be fun...
