The Lord of Glory: Meditations on the person, the work and glory of our Lord Jesus Christ
Gaebelein, Arno Clemens
Jesus Christ -- Meditations; Jesus Christ -- Person and offices
This blessed Word of Praise is placed by the Holy Spirit in the
foreground of the book which bears the name, the Revelation, or,
Unveiling of Jesus Christ. In it is found the great unveiling of the
future, the great coming tribulation and judgment period through
which the earth must pass, events which precede the glorious
manifestation of the Lord. But in this last great Bible book there
is also a complete unveiling of the Person, the Glory and the
dignity of Him to whom all judgment is committed. Not alone are in
this book many of the prophecies, given of old by the holy men of
God, rehearsed, but all He is, His Name, His power, His Glory, His
work, and many of his titles are restated. Think of what He is
called and how He is described in this book. We find Him called the
Son of God, the Son of Man, the Almighty, the Lord, the Alpha, the
Omega, the First, the Last, the Beginning of the Creation of God,
the Amen, the faithful Witness, the First begotten from the dead,
the Word of God, the Lamb, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the
mighty Angel, He that liveth, He that was dead, He that is alive
evermore, the Root and Offspring of David, the bright and Morning
star, the Prince of the kings of the earth, the King of kings, the
Lord of lords. What an array of titles. On earth great ones, kings
and princes, have numerous titles. They concern only earthly
glories; they are but for a moment. But His titles concern the earth
and the heavens. They belong to Him because He is God, while others
are acquired through His great work of redemption. His Glory and His
dignity are indescribable. One who reads the Book of Revelation and
reads it again will be increasingly impressed with the Glory of Him,
whom John beheld in all His Majesty.
