Look! A Great White Horse! (111A)

Speaker: R. Geoffrey Brown

Date: 8/30/2006

References: Revelation 19:1-16

Introduction:

The Book of Revelation guarantees the eventual victory of Christ over the world, sin, and the devil.

-Revelation 19:1-16

-Illustration: One of the largest stained-glass
windows in the world, found in a famous cathedral in
Milan, depicts the triumph of Jesus Christ as Lord.
Big Idea: This vision of Christ's future victory is necessary for our hope, faith, and endurance.

Christ's future victory gives us hope.

Christ's guaranteed victory gives us hope in a world where evil always seems to return stronger and stronger.

-Illustration: John's revelation includes a
wicked beast that is healed from its deathblow and
worshiped by all the Earth.
Christ's guaranteed victory gives us hope in the midst of our suffering.

Christ's future victory strengthens our faith in him.

Jesus' victory will come for him, by him, and through him alone.

-Illustration: The amount of war in the 19th
century dispelled the notion that humans can bring
about peace through their own development.
The guaranteed destruction of the world strengthens our faith to stand up for Christ within it.

-Illustration: Captured and tortured by the army
of Julian the Apostate, a young man demonstrates faith
in the ultimate victory of Jesus.

Christ's future victory reinforces our endurance.

As a soldier of God, we can carry on our fight against sin, the world, and the devil because we know that Christ is coming to finish it.

-Illustration: During the Civil War, General
Sherman signals for his beleaguered troops to "Hold the
fort, for I am coming!"

Conclusion:

When life seems out of control, remember Christ's future victory and take heart.

-Illustration: A verse from the old hymn, "Ride
on, King Jesus."
