Simply how big is your Jesus? John did not see a vision of a meek carpenter. Nor did he see a picture of a tortured, abused victim. He saw the Son of God. Take time to ponder on the image that John saw that day on Patmos. 

The descriptions might be a bit foreign to our modern minds and senses. Know that what John saw was not a defeated or passive figure. No, Jesus was supreme. Jesus has authority over eternity, over life, over death, over every leader and power on earth. Jesus was immortal. Death could not defeat Him. 

Today, we can’t rightly have confidence in ourselves. We can’t have confidence in our resources or institutions. We can’t even have confidence in our friends, families, and communities. No, but we can have confidence in King Jesus. 

The Jesus that John saw is the same here right now. He is before the right hand of His Father, interceding for you today. What do you need to give to Him right now? 

The promise of Jesus’ return should be our motivation for obedience and consecration. John was so overwhelmed by his encounter that all he could do was fall at the feet of Jesus in worship.
