The Lamb Who Is a King

The Lamb Who Is a King

Passage: Revelation 1:16-14:14

Speaker: Dr. Steven Laufer

Series: The Victory of the Lamb

Category: Sunday Sermons

Keywords: messiah, spiritual warfare, victory

The idea that Jesus is the fulfillment of the Old Testament’s Davidic Messiah runs throughout Revelation. The “Lamb” is also depicted in Revelation as a great military general, fighting a different kind of war, with a different kind of army, against a different kind of enemy. His leadership of God’s people is very similar to David’s. The symbolic image of the Lamb connects us to a key element of Christ’s work, and to our role in the great spiritual army of the Lamb. Just as he leads in this spiritual war, we ride with him, fighting with the weapons of his Word and following his example of holiness and love, seeking to turn back the darkness and bring light into the lives of all. Rev. 1:16, 17:14, 22:13–16
