What a comforting word! Although Christ is the judge expressing His majesty, and although the saints bear a serious responsibility before Him, John heard someone say, "Do not fear." Why? It is because the Lord Jesus, who is alive and who is the First and the Last, has become a man and has died and resurrected. "Who was delivered for our offenses and was raised for our justification" (Rom. 4:25). "In this...we have boldness in the day of the judgment because even as He is, so also are we in this world" (1 John 4:17). He has overcome Satan, and He has annulled the sting of death and the power of Hades. He is now holding "the keys of death and of Hades." Because He has died and resurrected, we should not fear.

THE COMMISSION OF THE LORD (VERSES 17-20) Verse Seventeen  Verse 17a: "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead."  It took only a turn and one glimpse of this glorious Lord Jesus to produce such an effect. This glory was extraordinary. Whose eyes could bear the sight? John once leaned on Jesus' bosom, but because of this glory, majesty, power, and holiness, he fell at His feet as dead. When Christ comes to judge the church and the world, who will be able to bear such a sight? If John reacted so, what about others? Those unfaithful believers? The Lord's enemy? May all saints and sinners realize the solemnity of this forthcoming judgment!

Though Christ a thousand times
In Bethlehem be born,
If He’s not born in thee
Thy soul is still forlorn.
The Cross on Golgotha,
Will never save thy soul;
The Cross in thine own heart,
Alone can make thee whole.
 	
        O, Cross of Christ, I take thee
        Into this heart of mine,
        That I to my own self may die
        And rise to thy life Divine.

2
What e’er thou lovest, man,
That too become thou must;
God, if thou lovest God,
Dust, if thou lovest dust.
Go out, God will come in;
Die thou and let Him live;
Be not and He will be;
Wait and He’ll all things give.

3
To bring thee to thy God,
Love takes the shortest route;
The way which knowledge leads,
Is but a roundabout.
Drive out from thee the world,
And then thy heart shall be
Filled with the love of God,
And holy like as He.

I Love Thee, Jesus (Hymn #1154)

Psalm 16:1-3
1  Preserve me, O God, for I take refuge in You.
2  I say to Jehovah, You are my Lord; No good have I beyond You;
3  As for the saints who are on the earth, they are the excellent; All my delight is in them.

18 And I Saw the Lamb Standing

Matthew 16:18

The Suwuh Seesters

Psalm 2:12b says, "Blessed are all those who take refuge in Him." To take refuge in the Son equals to believe into the Son, Christ (John 3:16). Many of us probably have never considered that to believe into Christ is to take refuge in Him. We can see this with the type of Noah's ark. When all the people trusted, or believed in, that ark, they all entered into that ark, to take the ark as their refuge, protection, and hiding place. Today our Christ is our refuge, our protection. We are hiding ourselves in Him.  - Life Study of Psalms

Jesus Lover of My Soul

My only hope is the Lord;
Everything depends on Him.
Lord, I’ve loved You before,
But I know that love is unstable.
Set me as a seal on Your heart,
Set me as a seal on Your arm.
My trust is not in my holding power
But in Your love and strength.
In this close, sweet union,
I lean on You, my Beloved.
Fill my being to express You, Lord,
Until You come, my Love.

My Only Hope Is The Lord

According to Revelation 1:14-18

               G                C                G            D         Em
Chorus: And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead
            C                                       D
And He placed His right hand on me
             C         G-C
Saying, Do not fear;
              D                  G
I am the First and the Last.


                                 Em-C                  G           D    C              G      -D
1) And His head and hair, were white as white wool, white as snow
             Em           C          D          G
And His eyes were, like a flame of fire.

2) And His feet shined bright, as having been fired, in a furnace,
And His voice was, the sound of many waters.

3) And the seven stars, were in His right hand, and out of His mouth,
Proceeded, a sharp two-edged sword.

4) And the Living One; and I became dead, and behold,
I am living! I am living fore’er.

5) And I have the keys, of death and of Hades, and behold,
Death was offset, and I destroyed the devil.

I Am The First And The Last
