5 Things I Love About Jesus

In Revelation 19, we get a glorious glimpse of Jesus and the five things I love most about him. John reports: “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. . . . His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. . . . He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood. . . . He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords” (verses 11-16).

First, he is faithful/true. What Jesus says, he does. If he said he loves and forgives you, he loves and forgives you. Second, he is all-knowing (“his eyes are like blazing fire”). All the evidence is before his eyes, which means he judges with justice. Third, he is authoritative. The embroidery on his robe and the ink on his thigh reads, “King of kings and lord of lords,” which means no one can depose, out-rule, or outvote him. Fourth, Jesus is holy, carrying out God’s wrath against sin, smashing sinners like crushed grapes in a winepress (so don’t you dare stand before Jesus holding on to sin!). Finally, Jesus is loving. His robe is dipped in the blood he shed on the cross to take away our sins so we wouldn’t be sinners in the hands of an angry God but children in the arms of a forgiving Father.

What a Jesus! What a Savior!
