Revelation 1:18
I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys
of Death and Hades.
Jesus Christ saying that He is the first and the last
confirms His role in our time based world.
He brought our world into existence and He will usher it out when He
brings in His eternal kingdom. By saying that He holds the keys to Death and
Hades, He is confirming His proper deity and His covenant of grace and
salvation for all.
When we have a relationship with Jesus Christ who created
the universe and still controls every minute detail of its existence, how could
we lack the confidence that He will overcome any person or evil in the universe
that comes to harm us. It just does not
make sense to question His power and sovereign rule. He is the head of His own house by Whom and
for Whom all things were created. He
will keep His house in perfect order according to His will and perfect
plans.
Fear not! Let us rest in the hands of the One who promises us His love, His joy and His peace through His victory on the Cross. Let us trust in the One who closes the portals of hell and opens the gateways of heaven. Blessed be His name.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we fall at Your feet in utter awe of who
You are. We proclaim Your Name above all
other names. We praise You and we
surrender to Your power in our lives. We
exalt the name of Jesus. May He lay His
hand upon us in love and not in wrath or anger.
We pray that You will show us Your power in the struggles that we are
currently experiencing. May we find joy
in our circumstances knowing that You have already settled the matters for our
good for all eternity. We ask all these
things in the name Our Blessed Hope and Assurance, Jesus Christ.
