"I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death." -Revelation 1:18
Anyone who knows me, knows that this is by far one of my favorite verses in Holy Scripture. It never ceases to evoke a sense of awe, as well as a sense of dread. Who can not help but worship a God of such great glory? He who lives, and was dead, and lives forevermore! These words are truly incomprehensible, we cannot fathom their true meaning, but we can sense them through the grace of the Spirit. These words speak of the Cosmic Christ, ineffable God who rules all things.
-John
