The Sufficiency of Christ

Is Christ enough? Here's some thoughts from my study on Revelation 1 concerning how Christ is sufficient for every need we have.

As one who stands amongst the midst of the seven lampstands so Christ is present in the midst of suffering (v. 13a).

As one who wears the garments of the High Priest so Christ is our Great High Priest interceding on our behalf (v. 13b)

As one who's head symbolizes purity and wisdom so Christ is our righteousness (v. 14a)

As one who's eyes are flames of fire so Christ possesses penetrating knowledge of all we are (v. 14b)

As one who's feet represent authority and power so Christ stands as the judge of the church and the world (v. 15a)

As one who voice is like many might rushing waters so Christ's authoritative Word guides and directs us (v. 15b)

As one who holds the messengers of the church in His right hand so Christ is sovereign over all the affairs of our life (v. 16a)

As one who has a sharp two-edged sword proceeding from His mouth to destroy His enemies so Christ protects his own (v. 16b)

As one who's face is shining like the sun in full radiance so Christ's glory is our joy (vv. 16c-18)

Take some time to investigate these realities and see Christ as your only sufficient Savior and fix your eyes upon Him!
