Seeing Jesus 

Part 2 – A Blazing Fire 

Revelation 1.9-20

I am with you.

• He stands with us as the fierce and present King.
• Nothing can separate us from Him nor does He want to be separated from us.
• This is deeply satisfying because we know we are never alone.

I am Eternal.

• He exists outside time and space because He’s the Creator of time and space.
• Nothing binds Him but His character.
• This is deeply satisfying because our hearts were made for eternity (Ecc. 3.11).

I am Conquering.

• He established His Kingdom through His sacrificial death and glorious resurrection.
• No one can defeat Him and all kingdoms will become His dominion (Rev. 11.15).
• This is deeply satisfying because when in trials, we long for a Conqueror.

I am Reigning.

• He holds authority over even the greatest of foes.
• No fear of death or judgment remains for those with faith in Him.
• This is deeply satisfying because when we face the future, we know the One who holds it.
