Resurrection Sunday Message 2026

We certainly serve a a risen savior.

And today I thought that what is the best way for me to reveal to

you the resurrected one? How how can I best demonstrate

to you who the Christ is helping you come to grips with the the

beauty of the glorified Son of God.

And so I thought that the best thing that I could do is take

you to the book of the Bible that reveals him the best.

Now, the Bible is all about the revelation of Christ, but the

Book of Revelation is really the revelation of Jesus Christ.

That's what it says in Revelation one verse #1 it says

the revelation of Jesus Christ, the apocalypsis, the uncovering,

the unveiling, the manifesting of Jesus Christ.

There's no book in the Bible that better manifests the

identity of the the Messiah than the Book of Revelation.

It's the last book in, in your in your Bible, last book in the

New Testament. But it reveals to us with great

clarity in a very splendid way, in a very marvelous way, the

character and nature of Jesus Christ.

It is the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The Book of Revelation is not about the end times.

We have it all mixed up. We think, well, the Book of

Revelation tells us all about the end, and it does.

But the Book of Revelation is not about the end times.

It's about Jesus Christ who is the one in charge of the end

times. He's the one who controls

everything. And we forget that when we read

the Bible. That's why Christ condemned the

Pharisees, because in Revelation, excuse me, John

John 5 · chapter mention

chapter 5 verse #39 he says you search the Scriptures for in

them you think that you have eternal life, but you missed me.

How can you read the Bible and miss me?

Well, how can you be the read the Book of Revelation and miss

Christ? Because everything about the

Book of Revelation is the unmasking, the unveiling of the

glory of the risen Christ. And he happens to be the one

that controls the end. And so He's going to manifest

that to us, but he does it because of who He is.

And so when you read the Book of Revelation and you miss Jesus,

then you didn't read it right? In fact, let me say it to you

this way. If you want a blessing, if you

want to be blessed today, you've come to the right place because

we're going to unfold for you the right person.

The Bible says in Revelation one verse #1 the revelation of Jesus

Christ. And then it says to verse #3

these words. Blessed is he who reads and

those who hear the words of the prophecy and heed the things

which are written in it, for the time is near.

The blessing comes to those who hear about the revelation of

Christ, those who read about the revelation of Christ, and those

who obey the revelation of Jesus Christ.

In fact, the book is bracketed by that exact same phrase in

Revelation 21 because it all comes to those who hear and read

and obey everything that Jesus Christ says because of who He

is. So if you want your life to be

blessed, spend your life reading and mastering the revelation of

Jesus Christ, the Book of Revelation.

And so I thought, if I could reveal to you the resurrected

one, where would I go in the Bible to reveal him to you in

the clearest possible manner? How is it I could convey to you

the beauty of the resurrected Christ?

We've been studying the Gospel of John and John presents to us

Jesus. We've spent eight weeks in the

1st 5 verses that you might understand who Jesus is.

So John's going to present to you Jesus Christ.

Now Jesus is going to present to John himself.

Jesus is going to appear to John on the island of Patmos.

All of his apostle friends have died.

They've all been martyred, but John is still living.

He's probably in his 90s by now. He's on the island of Patmos.

It's around 96 AD. And here he is isolated, all

alone, and he has probably wondered what has happened to

the return of the king. I mean, after all, he had spent

time with the Messiah. He had understood the Messiah.

He was an apostle of the Messiah.

And then the Messiah dies and rises again.

And then he spends 40 days with the other apostles listening to

Jesus teach about the coming Kingdom.

And when it's all said and done in Acts chapter one, they all

ask, well, are you now going to restore the Kingdom to Israel?

Is now the time we're we're awaiting your arrival for you to

ascend the throne and rule as the king.

And Jesus simply says, it's not, you know, the times of the

epochs in which the Father is fixed by his own authority.

It's not time. And yet you shall receive power

when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, and you shall be my

martyrs. And that's come true.

They're all dead except for John.

And so he's been wondering, it's been 60 years and Jesus hasn't

returned. And and he preached all about

the return of the King, his coming again, his imminent

return. And yet it's been 60 years and

John hasn't seen Christ since his ascension in the glory.

But now all of a sudden, on the island of Patmos in the Aegean

Sea, John all alone, the resurrected 1 is going to

appear. He's going to come to John and

express to John who he is because John's in need of

encouragement. He's going to write to seven

churches who are in desperate need of encouragement.

They need comfort, they need hope, They need consolation.

The, the earth, I mean, the church on the planet of that

time was in shambles a lot like it is today.

And there there was a call for the church to repent and turn

back to their Messiah, turn back to their king.

And the way he's going to do that is by giving the gospel.

And here is the gospel. I was dead.

I am alive forevermore. That that's the cornerstone of

Christianity. I was dead.

I am alive forevermore. The crucifixion and the

resurrection is the gospel. In fact, Tim read it to you

earlier in First Corinthians chapter 15 when it says, I make

1 Corinthians 15 · chapter mention

known to you, brethren, the gospel.

What's the gospel I delivered to you as of first importance, what

I also received that Christ died for our sins according to the

Scriptures, and that he was buried and that he was raised on

the third day according to the Scriptures.

In other words, what scripture? Not the New Testament hadn't

been written yet. So he's talking about the Old

Testament scriptures. Christ died according to the Old

Testament. Christ was raised according to

the Old Testament. And so the gospel is this.

Christ died and rose again. The gospel is the identity and

the ministry and the victory of Christ.

Christ the Messiah, that's his identity.

The ministry is a crucifixion and resurrection, and the

victory is that he reigns supreme forever and ever and is

alive forever more. And so Christ is going to reveal

himself to John and say, I was dead.

I am alive forever more. It's it's just a marvelous

passage. So if you got your Bible, turn

with me to Revelation chapter 1. Revelation chapter 1.

Revelation 1 · chapter mention Revelation 1 · chapter mention

You need to understand that the gospel is not so much

surrounding the miracles of Christ, and He did many

miracles, nor was it around the ministry of Christ while he was

on earth. It was all around the mission of

Christ. He had a mission, die, be

buried, rise again. And that's why Christ will say

to him, I was dead. I am alive forever more.

This is the encouragement to the churches.

This is the comfort to the churches.

This is, by the way, your only encouragement because it's an

eternal encouragement. It's a long lasting consolation

that Jesus Christ came, was killed, crucified, buried, and

rose again. So John hears a voice, and upon

hearing a voice on this island, I remember he's all alone.

There's nobody to talk to, maybe.

I'm sure he's had some conversations with himself.

I'm sure he's had some conversations with the Lord.

But he's on this island all by himself.

There's nothing there. And all of a sudden he hears

this voice. It's it's a voice that he's

heard before. It's a very familiar voice to

John, and it says in verse 12, Revelation 1.

Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me, and

having turned, I saw 7 golden lampstands.

Lampstands are the churches. If you read on the Book of

Revelation, it'll tell you that the lampstands are the churches

because he's going to write the seven churches.

And in the middle of the lampstands I saw one like a Son

of Man. It speaks to the centrality of

the Messiah. He is a central figure of the

church. He is in the central aspect of

the seven lampstands. And if the church doesn't see

Christ as a central figure for everything, the church has lost

its mission. So he emphasizes the centrality

of the Messiah, one, like I said, a man clothed in a robe,

reaching to the feet and girded across his chest with a golden

sash. He emphasized the priority of

the Messiah because the golden sash in the robe speak of the

kingly priestly robes, meaning that this king priest is in

intercession for his churches. He lives to make intercession

for us. Hebrew 7 tells us this is his

priority. And then it says his head and

his hair were white like wool, like snow.

It speaks of his purity. His eyes were like a flame of

fire, and his feet were like burnish bronze when it has been

made to glow in a furnace which speaks of his scrutiny.

And his voice was like the sound of many waters.

In his right hand he yelled 7 stars, and out of his mouth came

a sharp 2 edged sword which speaks of his authority.

And his face was like the sun shining in its strength that

speaks of His glory. And then verse 17, when I saw

him, I fell at his feet like a dead man.

Wait a minute, hasn't John seen the resurrected Christ before?

Yeah, he saw the resurrected glorified Christ.

He was face to face with him. He ate with him.

He spent 40 days with him. He has seen the glorified,

resurrected Christ before. But remember, and this is very,

very important, that Mary in the Garden did not recognize the

resurrected, glorified Christ. The two men on the road to

Emmaus, they did not recognize the glorified, resurrected

Christ, only until He revealed Himself, only until He unveiled

himself, only until he uncovered Himself so they could see who He

really is. This is so important.

Why? Because you see, Second

Corinthians 44 tells us that Satan has blinded the mind of

the unbeliever, so he does not see the light of the gospel or

the glory of the Christ. Satan doesn't want you to see

what John sees because you see, once you see what John sees, you

fall on your face like a dead man.

Ezekiel did. Isaiah did.

Manoa did. Just read those who encountered

the glorified living Christ in the Old Testament, they fell

down before Him like dead men on the Mount of Transfiguration

when Christ unzipped his flesh. You see, the reason people

didn't fall down every time they saw Christ is because all that

glory was encased in flesh. That's why when He would walk

down the street, people didn't know who He was.

They didn't recognize Him, but when he unzipped his flesh on

the Mount of Transfiguration, Peter, James, and John would

fall down once again before the glorified Christ.

All of his brilliance, all of his splendor, all of His

Majesty, all of his royalty. You see, we live in a day of

artificial Christianity. Churches are filled with

artificial people who think they're Christians.

Very few churches have authentic Christians.

Most are filled with artificial Christians.

And what is the difference between an artificial Christian

and an authentic Christian? The artificial Christian does

not fall on his face like a dead man.

The authentic Christian does because he sees his sinfulness

in light of God's holiness, and he cannot stand in his presence.

I ask you today, are you an artificial Christian or are you

an authentic Christian? We have watered down the gospel

so much that anybody and everybody can accept it.

That's what artificial Christians do.

They water it down so much that anybody and everybody just jumps

on the Jesus bandwagon. But when you authentically

portray the Christ for who He really is, then those who have

been called by Him will fall down before Him in fear and

repentance, because all they see is their sin.

Now note this, it says, when I saw him, I fell on his feet like

a dead man, and he placed his right hand on me, saying, John,

do not be afraid. You see John was afraid.

See. Wait a minute.

How can John be afraid of the of the Christ that he ministered

with and served with and loved the disciple whom Jesus loved?

Why would John be afraid? Because fear is what marks

authentic Christianity. Fearlessness marks artificial

Christianity. You need to understand this.

It's only the believer who fears the Christ.

The unbeliever does not. Romans 3 go from Psalm 14.

There is No Fear of God before their eyes.

That's the unbeliever. They don't fear God.

The fearless, the unbeliever will one day become fearful

because it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the

living God. But the fearful, the authentic,

they are the ones who become fearless because they receive a

touch. From the Messiah who says do not

be afraid. Psalm 130 verse #4 There is

forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared.

Never forget that verse. There is forgiveness with thee

that thou mayest be feared. Only the forgiven live in fear.

The unforgiven do not live in fear.

They live a fearless life, but one day they will fall into the

hands of the living God, and it's fearful to fall into those

hands. So here is John, who hasn't seen

the glorified, risen Christ in 60 years.

He's going to unveil himself, the revelation of Jesus Christ

in all of his glory and all of his scrutiny and all of his

purity and all of his beauty and all of his royalty and all of

his priority and all of his centrality.

He's going to present himself to John, for John has already

presented him to us and John one one to five.

And now Jesus is going to present himself to John in

verses Revelation 1, verses 17 and 18.

Revelation 1:17

This is what he says. I am the 1st and the last and

the living one that was dead. And behold, I am alive

forevermore and I have the keys of death and Hades.

This is the way Christ presents himself to John.

This is how Christ unveils himself to John.

This is how Christ wants to be unveiled to you.

This is how you need to see the resurrected Christ.

I am the 1st and the last the living one.

This speaks of his eternality and his eternality is

unfathomable. First of all, he says I am that

very familiar phrase that John would know in the original Texas

a go a me, which is the Greek translation of the name of God

in the Old Testament, Exodus chapter 3.

Exodus 3 · chapter mention

I am that I am. It's the name of God as

deliverer, as Redeemer. It's his memorial name.

And John had heard him say several times, I am the door.

I am the Good Shepherd. I am the way, the truth, and the

life. I am the light of the world.

I am the bread of life before Abraham was.

I am a go a me and every Jew knew what he meant.

That's what he picked up stones to to stone him.

They thought he blasphemed the name of God when Christ did

before Caiaphas. Caiaphas said, tell me, tell me

now, are you the Christ? Are you the Messiah?

Are you the Son of God? Christ said simply, I am, and

the high priest tore his robes thinking that Christ had

blasphemed God, but he didn't because he is God, He said in

John 8 verse 24. Unless you believe that I am,

John 8:24

you will die in your sins. You must believe that I am the

God who spoke to Moses from the burning Bush.

You must believe in my memorial name.

I am a deliverer, A Redeemer, and I am is the only Redeemer,

the only Savior, the only deliverer that there ever is.

Unless you believe that He is exactly who he says He is, you

will die in your sins. That's so important to to

understand what Christ is trying to convey to John.

He says John, I ego a me I, I am, you know me, so I am.

I am your God, your deliverer. I am the eternal God.

I am the first and the last. What a great title for God.

Go back to the book of Isaiah and you can read through the

book of Isaiah over and over to it.

God says I in the 1st and I in the last.

There is no other God beside me. I'm it.

There's nothing before me because I'm first.

There's nothing after me because I'm last.

He would say the same thing in Revelation One verse #8 when he

says I am the Alpha and the Omega, the 1st letter and the

last letter of the Greek alphabet.

I am before anything ever spoken.

I am after everything that is spoken.

There is no word before me. There is no word after me.

I always get the last word because I always have the first

word at the end. Revelation 22, verse #13 He says

these words. I am the alpha and the Omega,

the 1st and the last, the beginning and the end.

There's no better way to say it. Before anything I am.

After everything I am. Here's the great thing about

that. At your conception, He is there.

At the conception of your life, he is there.

At the duration of your life, he is there.

At the consummation of your life, He is there.

Because he's everywhere. He's the eternal God.

He exists outside the realm of time.

We don't understand that. That's because he's eternal, the

eternality of God. He reaches out and he touches

John. Every believer who fears him

understands the touch of the living God, the comfort that

comes from the living God. And he says I am the 1st and the

last, the living one. The title for God in the Old

Testament, Psalm 42 my, my heart thirst for the living God.

Psalm 82, my I sing for joy to the living God.

Peter said, thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

The church is the pillar and foundation of the living God.

I am the living God and I'm alive for evermore.

John, I live and only the living God can give life to lifeless

people, and the unbeliever is the lifeless person.

And so Christ comes to John and John's afraid because of what he

sees, the voice he hears. And Christ says, don't be

afraid. John, this is my unfathomable

eternality. Here you are on this island all

by yourself. You think I haven't been here?

Oh no, I've been here. I'm everywhere.

And I want to assure you that I am the 1st and the last.

I am the living God. I want you to understand my

eternality because you need to infuse encouragement into the

suffering churches. That's why.

To the Church of Smyrna, who was the crushed church, he said in

Revelation 2 verse #8 I am the 1st and the last who was dead

and has come to life. Because you see, for the

persecuted church, they need to know that the first and the

last, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega, the

eternal God who died and rose again, is there for them.

That's their only encouragement. That's their hope, and that's

our hope. So the Bible says I am.

I am the 1st and the last. I am the living 1 and I was

dead. How does the living one die?

In a moment I'll tell you. Let's pray.

Father, thank you for today. Thank you, Father, for the

opportunity we have to study your word, the revelation of

Jesus Christ, the unveiling of the of glorified risen Christ.

What a joy, what a pleasure, What an opportunity for us to be

able to sit back, read, hear and then responsible enough to obey

the words of the one who said, I am the 1st and the last, the

living one. Do not be afraid John.

He reached out and he touched him.

Those here Lord, in need of your touch today, we pray that they

would hear and obey the word of the living God in Jesus name,

Amen. The glorified risen Christ says

to John, you don't need to be afraid John, I am the 1st and

the last. I am the living one.

Listen to what the Psalmist said in Psalm 90 verses 1 and 2.

Psalms 90:1

Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.

How? How can God be the dwelling

place for every generation unless he is the 1st and the

last? The I am the living God, the

eternal God who exists outside the realm of time.

But you have been our dwelling place in every generation before

the mountains were born or you gave birth to the earth and the

world. So you are the Alpha and the

Omega. You are the 1st and the last

because you existed before the earth existed.

But he says this even from everlasting to everlasting.

You are God. The psalmist knew.

The psalmist knew about the eternality of of the living God,

that he exists in all realms of life in every generation,

because that's who He is. He, He's never not present, He's

never not there. He is the God who is always

there. He's never the God who is

absent. He is the living God who is the

great I am, who is the 1st and the last.

He is the living one. And yet he tells John and I was

dead. How does the living one die?

How can the living God die? Well, he can't unless he wraps

himself in flesh. The Bible tells us in Hebrews

chapter chapter 5 that God has prepared a body for him and he

had to die first. Peter 3 verse #18 says it this

way. The Christ also died for sins

once for all, just once doesn't die over and over and over again

every time we take communion. We're not celebrating Christ's

death again and again and again that he's dying again.

No, we are celebrating the fact that He once died.

That sacrifice was once for all the just which He is, for the

unjust which we are, so that He might bring us to God.

Christ, that I'm the way, the truth and the life.

No man comes unto the Father but by me.

Now listen, everybody in the room gets to God.

Everybody in the world gets to God, but she only come to the

Father through the Son. If you get to God, you're in

trouble, but if you come to the Father, you'll live with him

forever in eternity. But in order for us to have a

mediator, there's one mediator between God and man.

It's the man Christ Jesus. He had to become a man.

He had to be born to die. So let me help you understand

death because I'm afraid that we live in a in a, in a day and age

where people don't get what death is.

All death is is a separation. I just death the paper.

I separated the paper. That's all death is.

It is a separation. So let me explain it to you.

When you were born, you were born dead.

So wait a minute. I was kicking and screaming and

crying and and begging for something to eat and my mom and

dad were trying to calm me down. I was way alive.

Oh no, no, you were dead. You were dead spiritually

because you were born dead in your trespasses and sin, but yet

you were alive. So how can you be dead and

alive? Because your body, your soul, is

separated from the eternal God. You're in enmity with God.

You're not a friend of God, you're a friend of the world.

You've been taken captive by Satan to do his will, so

therefore you are separated from God.

You are death to God, both your physical body and your soul.

Before you physically die, in other words, before your body

and soul are separated when you stop breathing.

OK, you must rectify the fact that you're eternally dead,

spiritually dead, because the Bible speaks of death in three

ways, a physical death, a spiritual death, and eternal

death. So because you are born

spiritually dead before you are physically dead, you must

rectify your spiritual life or you will be eternally dead.

That is, your body and soul will be separated from God forever

and ever and ever. When you die, your body decays.

We experience that now we're getting older.

Now that I'm older, I don't say people are old anymore.

I just say they're getting older, right?

You know, because, because, because old is, is is very

relative, but older is subjective, right?

So, so as we get older, as we age, we, we begin to break down.

We're not what we used to be. The wrinkles get longer, the

crevices get deeper, the flab is flabbier because we're decaying.

And finally, one day the body just dies.

It it perishes, but the soul is on, right?

So physical death is a separation of body from soul,

absent from the body, present with the Lord.

It's the point that a man wants to die.

After that, the judgement. So everybody dies and everybody

lives forever, either with God or without God.

So the Bible speaks of spiritual death.

When you're born physically, you are spiritually dead.

Therefore, we preach the gospel so people can be reconciled to

God. Second of these five talks about

how we're ambassadors for Christ and we're ministers of

reconciliation. We want to reconcile people to

God. They're they're enmity with God.

So let's reconcile them to God. Let's preach the gospel.

Let's show them who Christ is so that they don't die physically

in a spiritually dead state. And so when you die physically,

if you know the Lord, your spirit goes to heaven.

If you don't know the Lord, it goes to Hades, the place of the

dead. We'll look at that in a moment.

So Christ in order to be separated, separated from what

flesh get to be put to death in the flesh, but alive. 1st 318

tells us in the Spirit. You see, He had to die

physically. Somebody had to die in your

place. The wages of sin is what death

someone's got to die. Now you can die and pay for your

own sins, but you'll pay eternally in hell.

Or you can accept what Christ did on the cross, who died in

your place, and spend eternity with Christ.

He became our substitute. He died in our place, so he had

to. We know he died.

John 19 tells us that they stuck a spear in his side and out came

water. They didn't break his legs

because he was already dead. Breaking the legs of the

crucified One would only hurry up to death and they had to get

him off the cross before evening came.

You know he was dead. But first beat of 318 says he

was alive in the spirit. We know that because.

After the resurrection, what did he do first?

Peter 3/19. He went down to Hades and made a

public proclamation to the spirits that are imprisoned in

the place of the dead, those that were held captive there

since the days of Noah, because they had no idea that Christ had

died and rose again because he was alive in the spirit.

He went down and made a public proclamation as a victorious 1

because he is the ultimate victor.

And then he bodily rose from the dead on day #3 You see, I was

dead, John, you know, when I died.

I died for you, John. I died for you.

I was separated from the body. I was I.

I came in encased in flesh. It was a body that was prepared

for me. All the days are written for me

in the scroll of my Father in heaven.

I came to do the will of my Father in heaven.

I came to die, John. I came to die for you.

This is his unimaginable humility, from his unfathomable

eternality to his unimaginable humility that the King of Glory

would encase himself in flesh so that he could die for your sins

and for mine. That's amazing, Flippin tells

us. He became obedient unto death,

even the death on a tree on the cross.

I was dead, They says this. Behold, stand amazed.

I'm alive forevermore. Hebrews 7 says he lives an

indestructible life. The Bible says over in first

Timothy chapter one verse #17 Now to the king, immortal,

invisible, the only God be honor and glory forever and ever, the

eternal immortal God, the imperishable God, the

incorruptible God, the non decaying God is alive forever

more. Second dividy one verse #10

Jesus Christ has abolished death, has abolished death, and

brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

Christ has abolished death. In other words, he's he's

rendered death inoperable. It doesn't mean that death has

disappeared, because people still die.

People still are physically separated from their spirit when

they give up this life, this physical life.

But it means that he is rendered death inoperative in the life of

the believer, so that we no longer fear death.

Here is John on the Isle of Patmos, all by himself, all

alone, knowing he's going to die.

All of his friends have died. He's next.

He said no when and Christ says I I I'm alive for forevermore.

John, I want you to stand that my eternality is unimaginable.

I want you to understand that or should be unfathomable,

fathomable and my humility is unimaginable, but my immortality

is undeniable. I live forever, John, because I

live John 14 you too shall live because He is the God who gives

life. He is the living God who grants

man not just eternal life, but quality of life.

Hebrews chapter 2 says. Therefore, since the children

Hebrews 2 · chapter mention

share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise also partook of

the same, that through death He might render powerless him who

had the power of death, that is, the devil, and might free those

who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their

lives. You see, what Christ did was

fear. Fear the authentic Christian

from the fear of death. The artificial Christian fears

death. The authentic Christian does not

fear death because you see, you abolish death.

And when you believe in the eternal God, the living God, the

1st and the last, the great I am, you no longer fear death

because he's the living God. Death is the doorway to the

entrance to eternity to be with the living God.

That's how you know an authentic Christian from an artificial

Christian. Artificial people fear death.

Authentic Christians have No Fear of death.

None. How about you?

You fear death. Ask yourself if you're an

artificial Christian just plain at Christianity, or you truly

know the living, resurrected Christ.

This is how Christ reveals himself to John.

This is the encouragement he's going to give to the churches.

I want you to tell them of my eternality, tell them of my

humility, tell them of my immortality, and then tell them

one last thing. Tell them of my absolute

authority that I have the keys to death and Hades.

That's how I conclusive I have absolute authority.

Complete sovereignty. Keys give you access.

You can't get into the building unless you have a key.

You can break in, but you can't actually enter in without keys.

Can't drive your car without a key.

You can't get in your house without a key.

You can't get in your lock box without a key.

Keys give you access. Keys give you authority.

If I have my keys, guess who's driving my car?

Not you, Me, because I have the keys.

I have authority, I have access. You don't.

Christ says I have the keys to death and Hades.

In other words, I am in complete and total control of every

single person and every single thing on earth.

Death is the condition, Hades is the place.

Christ says in Deuteronomy 32 verse #39 I am God, there is

none else. I alone put to death.

I give life. There's nothing more clear than

that. If you want to know why people

die, answer God. I put to death.

It pleased the Lord to crush his Son.

Isaiah 53 verse #10 Who killed Christ?

The Jews, the Romans, the Gentiles.

God killed his son. I hold the keys.

Christ says to death in Hades. Your destination, John, is in my

hands. It's in my hands, John, as you

sit in the Isle of Patmos, all by your little lonesome, all by

yourself, and you think that I'm not coming again, let me reveal

to you who I am and then all the events that I will enact to show

you I'm coming again. But know this, that you're in my

hand, John, because I hold the keys to death in Hades.

I'm in charge of who lives and who dies.

I'm in charge of who dies, when they die, where they die, and

how they die. That's hard for some people to

grasp, but that is our God. He's in complete and total

control. But if you confess with your

mouth, Jesus says Lord, and believe in your heart, that God

raised him from the dead, you will be saved with the mouth.

Man confesses unto salvation with the heart.

Man believes under righteousness.

The blessing comes to you today because of the revelation of

Jesus Christ. The blessing comes to you today

because you're here to read and to hear.

And now, in order to enact the blessing, you must obey.

You must heed the words of this book, and that is the blessing

that the resurrected 1 revealed to you in the Book of Revelation

grants to all those who put their faith and trust in the

living God. Let me pray with you.

Father, thank you for today, for truly Lord, you are a great God

and you alone are worthy of praise.

And we glorify your precious name, knowing that one day

you're going to come again. Until that day, may we be found

faithful in our service of the King.

May we glorify your precious name.

In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
