I. I need to know Jesus as a “Conqueror”.
A. Jesus came riding on a donkey at his 1st coming but at his 2nd coming he’ll be riding a “white horse” (Revelations 6:2 & 19:11)
“Quite certainly, the white horse and its rider stands for conquest in war. When a Roman general celebrated a triumph, that is, when he paraded through the streets of Rome with his armies and his captives and his spoils after some great victory, his chariot was drawn by white horses, the symbol of victory.” William Barclay
1. “Its rider held a bow” (vs 6:2b) In the Old Testament the bow is always a symbol of military power.
2. “His eyes are like blazing fire” (vs 19:12a) No enemy can stand before him.
3. “On his head are many crowns” (vs 19:12b) Jesus is the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords”
4. “He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood” (vs 19:13) This is not his own blood, but the blood of his enemy. (see Isaiah 63:1-3)
B. Jesus is mighty enough to conquer all your fears.
II. I need to know Jesus as being “Faithful and True”. (vs 29:11b)
A. “For I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” (2 Timothy 1:12b)
III. I need to know that I ride with Jesus on the white horse and not against him.
A. Jesus has won the battle and I need to be on his side. |
