Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse!
The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True,
and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
Revelation 19:11
The Hero comes riding in on a white horse!
I wonder if this is the origin of heroes riding in on white horses to save the day. Our Hero, Jesus, is invincible. His Day is coming to set all things right! He is King of kings and Lord of lords. And like many heroes, He has a secret identity only He knows.
What is most revealing about His power and the name He is known by?
He is The Word Of God. The same Word who came as a Babe, incognito, into a world of darkness. He came quietly into enemy territory. The first time He came to seek and save the lost. Next time, He comes in full force. The full weight and fire of the Word will have its way. The Word both saves and judges.
We have the Word of God available to us today. What came in the flesh we have in written form, on paper and digitally. Through Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we have access to the Word which judges, saves, and comes to our rescue. It's far better to be judged by His Word now, while there is still time to repent, then on the Day He comes riding in on His white horse.
What weight does His Word have in your life today?
Do you think you should give it greater attention? before He comes riding in the final time? on the final Day?
Jesus, You are The Word of God. You came to make the Way for salvation.
You came to seek and save the lost. But the Day is coming where God's Word
will come with its full wrath for those who continually reject and neglect His Word.
Stir my heart for Your Word. May I know its saving power now, in my daily life.
Power to save others and me.
