If Genesis describes the beginnings of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the book of Revelation finishes the story.

Revelation 19 tells us that a descendant of Judah, Jacob’s son, will one day come and rule the whole world. And He will be unlike any other king in history.

1 Timothy 1:17, “All honor and glory to God forever and ever! He is the eternal King, the unseen one who never dies; he alone is God. Amen.”

This verse tells us that the role of the greatest of all kings belongs to Christ alone. The image of a lion, with its sleek coat, fierceness, and strength, best describes Jesus as ruler over all.

He will preside over an eternal kingdom, one that has no end and no boundaries. This picture of our great King is one we can hold fast to and believe in. One day, King Jesus, that strong lion, will even put away all dangers that threaten us.

That is an amazing thing to look forward to. And it has been promised to us.

Let’s pray.

Lord, your lion is coming to defeat evil and put away death and suffering forever, and we greatly look forward to that. Thank you for keeping your promises. In Jesus’ name, amen.
