Today’s Encouragement is, “When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if I were dead.” Revelation 1:17a NLT
When I Saw Him –
The Bible is full of descriptions of encounters with Jesus. This final description in Revelation 1:12-16 is one of the most detailed and most powerful, probably because this encounter is with the resurrected Jesus in all His Glory!
Another example of an encounter is when Jesus is arrested; the soldiers, battle-hardened and fearless, fell back and cowered in His presence. John 18:6 NLT “As Jesus said, ‘I AM he,’ they all drew back and fell to the ground!”
Friends, when we encounter Jesus in our lives today, He is the Glorified One of Revelation 1. His Power is the same which caused the soldiers to fall back, and His Loving Heart for us is still the beautiful love which caused Peter to jump overboard and swim to Him in excitement! (John 21:7)
Will you dare to encounter Him in your heart, mind, and soul for just a moment?
Now?
Pause your hurried mind and life. Play this worship song and…
Behold Him…
Father God, please help us to encounter Jesus in this moment.
Behold Him
