“and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,”
Revelation 1:5 KJV
May this grace and peace of Jesus Christ overwhelm us! He is the firstborn from the dead and embodies the evidence and testimony of everything that God believes about us. He heads the authority in which we reign as kings on the earth. His crown endorses our crown! He always loves us and loosed us once and for all from the dominion of sin in the shedding of His Blood! In His Blood He brought closure to an inadequate sacrificial system of removing sin through mankind’s sinfulness and sin-consciousness. Jesus Christ, fully God and fully Man, represents the entire human race, by becoming our sin and distortedness in His death; and raising us together with Him in His resurrection, as the firstborn from the dead, He re-birthed us and redeemed His image and likeness within us! He leads the triumphant procession of our new birth out of the region of the dead, redeeming our life from the pit and crowning us with loving kindness and tender mercies, satisfying us with good and renewing our youth like the eagle’s. Hallelujah!
