Who won?

Between Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon in 2013.  The race to get the first man on the moon.  In Despicable Me 2 between Gru and El Macho.  The Men’s 100m final at 2012 Olympics.  Between Adam Richman and the 72 ounce steak.

The book of Revelation is all about how the Lord Jesus has won.

Jesus Wins sums up the whole book of Revelation in two words.

“Do not weep!  See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed.  He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.  Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain” (Revelation 5:5-6)

Revelation is all about how Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David by His death on the cross, has won a great victory and because He has, God’s plan for the future contained in the scroll, His plan to save His people and destroy His enemies will take place.

What an encouragement for followers of Jesus!

For them to keep going, to keep trusting in Jesus, and to live lives that please Him no matter how hard it may be.

Jesus wins so keep going, that’s what Revelation is all about!
