WHO IS JESUS? <Rev.1:1-8>

SANTIAGO B. SAMEON II, B.Th. Ed. D. INTRODUCTION: In the book of John, the first epistle that John wrote, Jesus has been pictured by the writer, as the world’s great adoring lover. In the early part of the first chapter of the book of Revelation, the 5

th book that the Apostle John wrote, Jesus is depicted as a revelator and delegator of

the revealed word by the Father, the First person of the Godhead, that now ushers us, to our lesson this very moment!

3. Keepers of the teachings are blessed - “of this prophecy and keep those things…” Rev.1:3

4. Written word speaks the coming is soon - “which are written in it; for the time is near Rev.1:3

JOHN PENNED THE REVEALED WORD OF JESUS TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES

1. Seven epistles to Asian churches - “John, to the seven churches in Asia:…” Rev.1:4

2. Blessings of tranquility to churches - “Grace to you and peace from Him…” Rev.1:4

3. Eternal Jesus who exist and will come - “who is and who was and who is to come,...” Rev.1:4

4. Higher spirit beings - “and from the seven Spirits…” Rev.1:4

5. Attending before God’s throne - “who are before His throne,…” Rev.1:4

6. From Jesus the trustworthy witness -“and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,…” Rev.1:5

7. Resurrected preeminent Jesus - “the firstborn from the dead,…” Rev.1:5

8. Sovereign king of all earthly rulers - “and the ruler over the kings of the earth Rev.1:5

9. Jesus who adored and cleansed us - “To Him who loved us and washed us…” Rev.1:5

7.Even those who pricked Jesus will see - “even they who pierced Him Rev.1:7

8. Wicked people of all tribes will mourn - “And all the tribes of the earth will mourn..” Rev.1:7

9. On account Jesus. So be it. - “because of Him. Even so. Amen.” Rev.1:7

OMNIPOTENT JESUS, IS THE BEGINNING AND END OF ALL THINGS

1. Eternity of Jesus is depicted by Grecian alphabet - “I am the alpha and the omega,…” Rev.1:8

2. Eternity of Jesus supersedes time - “the beginning and end, says the Lord, Rev.1:8

3. Eternity of Jesus’ existence is unbounded by time - “Who is and who was and Who is…,” Rev.1:8

4. Eternity of Jesus is boosted by His omnipotence - “to come, the Almighty.” Rev.1:8

CONCLUSION: We learned from our study that: REVELATOR JESUS DELEGATED THE WORD OF THE FATHER TO HIS SERVANTS, that BLESSINGS ARE PRONOUNCED BY JESUS TO THE WORD ACCEPTORS, that JOHN PENNED THE REVEALED WORD OF JESUS TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES, that JESUS REVEALED THE HEIGHTENED STATUS OF THE CHURCH and that the OMNIPOTENT JESUS IS THE BEGINNING AND END OF ALL THINGS, amen?
