Revelation 5:5 (LSB) 5 And one of the elders said to me, \u201cStop crying! Behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the scroll and its seven seals.\u201d<\/p>\n

We sometimes hear Jesus referred to as \u201cthe Lion of the tribe of Judah\u201d.<\/p>\n

What does this mean for us as followers of Christ?<\/p>\n

Lions are seen as conquerors. They are fearless and not easily challenged or defeated.<\/p>\n

They rule their territory triumphantly, with strength, power, and absolute authority.<\/p>\n

There is great comfort in this since we have placed ourselves under His care, allowing Him to shepherd and protect us, His flock.<\/p>\n

Jesus has authority that is righteous and irrevocable. It cannot be taken from Him. Nor can He be defeated.<\/p>\n

The reference to Judah stems from His earthly lineage. Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus, was a descendant of David who was also a member of the tribe of Judah.<\/p>\n

The fact that Jesus has His lineage in the tribe of Judah is also significant since this tribe was a tribe from which many kings of Israel came.<\/p>\n

His absolute authority can be seen in the verse above, where He possessed the power and authority to open the seals on the scroll, when no one else could open them.<\/p>\n

Jesus was the only One who ever defeated death, rising from His grave on the third day, defying everything known to man, and later ascending to sit at the right hand of God.<\/p>\n

He was victorious in defeating sin, walking the earth in human form for 33 years, and doing so perfectly.<\/p>\n

And His pure, holy blood was spilled for us, to redeem us from our sins, offering us freedom that no manmade ritual or tradition could offer.<\/p>\n

The book of Revelation names Him KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, above all else on the earth or in heaven, for eternity.<\/p>\n

Revelation 19:16 (NKJV) 16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.<\/p>\n

Amen \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n
