The Glory of Christ

The book of Revelation is a revelation of Jesus Christ and we have glorious description of Him in chapter 1:12-16. Here the apostle John describes Him. Let us look at these verses and see what insight we can gain into who Christ is.



    1) He sees Christ in human form, even as we will see Him when He comes for us.
    2) His kingship and wealth is shown in the gold sash wrapped around His chest.
    3) His holiness represented by His white hair.
    4) His penetrating eyes that burn everything hidden away.
    5) His feet like fine bronze fired in a furnace speaks of His strength.
    6) His deafening voice. No one can stand against their power.
    7) His sharp edged tongue that brings life and death.
    8) His face radiates His glory, and those who look on it can find strength and consolation or be   
        scorched by its glory.

Now there may be other symbolism in this description. Yet, when all is said and done. We serve an almighty God who is multifaceted. Who can fully know Him? Who can fully comprehend the length, width and depth of Christ?
