Rulers of nations have huge egos. The President of the United States is sometimes called the leader of the free world. That’s bound to make any President’s head swell. They all like to issue executive orders and bypass the Congress and courts, if they can. Most Presidents – in fact, most leaders –  like to feel “large and in charge.” But no President or leader of any other government on the planet has ultimate power. But Jesus does.

Listen to Revelation 19:11-16 describe Jesus, ‘I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” (NIV)

This title of Jesus reveals he possesses ultimate power and authority.

“I give you my word.” Have you ever heard that statement? People say it to reassure someone they will do as promised.  Or how about the phrase “can I have a word with you?” You know you’re in for more than one word. They want to talk to you about something. The term word is often used to summarize something greater. Two passages of the bible use it in this way.

John 1:1-4 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.”(NIV) John tells us in later verses that this Word is Jesus.

Revelation 19:11-13 also uses the term word in John’s prophetic vision of Jesus, “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.”

Jesus existed before creation. He was the agent of creation. He will be the agent of God’s judgement. He is the Word of God.

The book of Revelation is a prophecy filled with fantastic descriptions of the return of Christ and the end of time. I’ve always wanted a top special effects studio to make a film of the entire book.  It would be so exciting to view! Can you imagine the visuals of heaven, the dragon, angels and the lake of fire! In Revelation 19:11, John wrote, “I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war.”(NIV) Here, in the climax of the book, Jesus, the rider on the white horse is called Faithful. Does that seem odd to you? Here is the vision of Christ preparing to wage the final battle. He is described as having eyes of blazing fire, many crowns on his head, a robe dipped in blood and a sharp sword coming from his mouth. How does faithfulness fit in?

I think it is awe-inspiring in two ways. First, faithfulness qualifies him to be Lord of Lords. The Bible describes Jesus as a faithful witness, a faithful son and a faithful high priest. Philippians 2 describes the degree of his faithfulness, namely, he was obedient to God to the point of death. Faithfulness qualifies him to ride the white horse. Second, it reminds us that Jesus keeps his promises. We can trust that Jesus will leads us to the ultimate victory! Faithfulness is awesome!
