"When Holy Spirit speaks to your heart, the revelation changes us.
"Who is Jesus - it's the great controversy in the world and will increasingly be an issue globally.
[Matt 16:13-16 Jesus asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?" So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets." .....]
"Jesus is like a diamond with many facets. It is only when you bring all the aspects together that you find a proper picture off who he is.
"The book of Revelation is about Jesus - what he's like, his purpose, his plan and our part to play in it. The first three chapters hold at least 24 different descriptions of what Jesus is like.
"Revelation is the revealing, or the unveiling, of Jesus Christ and his plan for the church, not to run away, not to be caught up out of it all, but to bring the grace and the glory and the goodness of God to all nations in the earth. Our Great Commission is to change the world, not retreat from the world, but to change the world, one soul at a time, one life at a time.
Who is Jesus?
Rev 19: 6-9 Jesus is a passionate Bridegroom who loves you. He is a jealous lover.
"Jesus pursues us. God has no casual relationships. Either you are in covenant with God or you're not. And if you are in covenant with God, are you a covenant-keeper with God, or are you an adulterer with God? How will you respond to him?
Rev 19: 11-16 Jesus is a sovereign King
"Jesus demonstrated his sovereign power. The Kingdom of God is not a democracy. I need to yield to his design for my life, and co-operate with and align myself to his will.
Rev 19:11 Jesus is a just Judge
"Whatever is unfair in the world, he's going to sort it out. Wherever there is wrong government, he is going to displace it and put in his own righteous government. Wherever there has been crime and sin and things gone wrong, he's going to intervene and bring judgement on it. He also rewards those who labour and serve him, whether or not people noticed.
