Scripture:
Revelation 17:14 – They will make war on the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and King of Kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.
Observation:
The beast tries to be God but he is not. The beast and kings wage war on the Lamb (Jesus) and they are destroyed. Jesus is victorious over the principalities of darkness. Jesus is King over all kings and has all authority over heaven and earth. Jesus saves those who he has called, allowing believers to be faithful to Him.
Application:
Only the gospel of Jesus Christ has the power save. There is nothing else that we can do, see, believe to find salvation other than through Jesus. Jesus came to save me from my sin so I can be reconciled with God. Jesus overcame death, was resurrected and when he returns He conquers satan. Let me live out this truth daily, knowing there will be difficulties and persecution forthcoming, but Jesus reigns.
Prayer:
Father,
Thank you for your grace, love and mercy. Help me to remember your gospel and respond to it in freshness daily. Let the power of your Spirit guide me to walk in faith with you in all aspects of my life, regardless of the cost.
