Revelation 17
The Victory of the Lamb of God!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Monday, March 22.
Will good ever prevail over evil?
This question is at the heart of every great epic story! This question is answered by the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
In Revelation 17 we see the forces of evil aligned against God, but we have this assurance found in verse 14, “These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful.”
Jesus is Lord of lords and King of kings! That is who He is and because He is preeminent over all things, there is nothing in this life or the next that can defeat Him or separate you from His love. As Paul said in Romans 8:37-39,
But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
This is the promise of your security! The Victory of Jesus Christ, won once and for all on the Cross of Calvary has defeated the forces of evil and has removed the sting of death and forever has loosened the grip of sin.
I started by asking the question: Will good ever prevail over evil? The answer is: “It is finished!”
Seize the moment and walk in the Victory that has been won for you and is guaranteed by the sovereign grace of the Lamb of God.
Let’s recite this week’s memory verse from Ephesians 2:10, “For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.”
