Amen, and Amen
Re 1:5-6, “And
from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the
dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and
washed us from our sins in his own blood; And hath made us kings and priests
unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.
Amen.” Take some time to think about
what “Amen” means. The word amen used in
this verse in the NT is a Hebrew loan word that means ‘of verity’ or ‘so be
it’. When I think about Jesus Christ is
a faithful witness that loved me so much that He loved me in spite of my sin, I
say halleluiah amen! Think of it, the
prince of the kings of the earth loved me enough to die for my sin. When I ponder on the wonder of His love I am
amazed that He suffered and died for a small sinful boy who grew up on an
eighty-acre farm in eastern Kansas.
Wow! I’m about
to get blessed and make some noise. I’m
not sure that I am capable of sitting here much longer without praising my Lord
and Savior loudly. I’m about ready to
make a joyful noise to express my happiness.
Those around me will not understand what is going on in my inner most
soul right now. They may take me away
and restrain me with a straight jacket, but that’s ok because my wonderful Lord
will understand. If I tell them that I
am thinking about my Savior who is the first begotten of the dead and my soon
coming king, they will consider me to be just another religious fanatic but
that’s ok because my Lord and Savior will know that I am perfectly sane.
My Savior knows
how many sins His precious blood washed away in an instant. He knows how he transformed me into a king
and priest unto His glory. Christian
musician look up with joy. Take heart
because he has done the same for you.
Let your mouth be filled with many Amens and Hallelujahs unto the
victorious Lamb of God. Remember that
you are on the winning side because you serve a God who will have dominion and
glory forever, Amen.
