Do you know Christians follow a tortured, executed King?! Are you aware that THE Lord of heaven and earth is a crucified Christ?! Furthermore, how can Jesus be a Lion and a Lamb at the same time?! Why, you would have to be out of your mind to believe in Jesus and give your very life to live for Him! EXACTLY! Our lives no longer belong to ourselves but to Him who died and rose on our behalf (II Cor. 5:15). Jesus conquered Satan, sin, and death all in one weekend. Jesus is alive and sits at the right hand of God in heaven as King of the universe. Christians don’t cringe at the thought of Jesus reigning in us; rather, we love for Jesus to reign in us. It is the only right way to live and the only right way to die.
Read Revelation 5:1-14 and then listen to Reign in Us by Starfield.
Revelation 5
And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slaughtered, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth. And He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. When He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they *sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are You to take the scroll and to break its seals; for You were slaughtered, and You purchased people for God with Your blood from every tribe, language, people, and nation.
You have made them into a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign upon the earth.”
Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders; and the number of them was myriads of myriads, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb that was slaughtered to receive power, wealth, wisdom, might, honor, glory, and blessing.”
And I heard every created thing which is in heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, or on the sea, and all the things in them, saying,
“To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion forever and ever.”
And the four living creatures were saying, “Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.
