#soap # Revelation 19 ## Title: The King Rides In Front ## Scripture: (Revelation 19:11-12) Then I saw heaven opened and here came a white horse! The one riding it was called “Faithful” and “True,” and with justice he judges and goes to war. His eyes are like a fiery flame and there are many diadem crowns on his head. He has a name written that no one knows except himself. (NET) ## Observation: Even though we see many movies where the hero is in front of the cavalry and leading the charge, most kings were not like this. The goal of the king was to be the symbol of power of the kingdom. He was probably the most guarded person on the battlefield, if he was even on the battlefield. That is why this picture of Jesus is so powerful. Jesus stands at the head of the army. He is the one leading the charge of redemption and freedom. Our Great King does not lead from the back or from some main guard post. He is at the front, leading the way, and declaring victory. We serve a Mighty, Fearless King. ## Application: Celebrate the fact Jesus is Fearless and Ruler over all. Let that be a comfort if you are facing difficult issues in your life. Our King is not afraid and will never leave you. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us at all times.
