The Whole Christ

"In Revelation 22, He is revealed as “the bright
Morning Star” (v. 16), “the First and the Last, the
Beginning and the End” (v. 13). He is the triumphant
Lion of Judah (see Revelation 5:5). He is the Ruler of
the kings of the earth, crowned with many crowns.
With justice He judges and makes war. His eyes are
like blazing fire, His feet like glowing bronze and His
mighty voice like the sound of rushing waters. Yet
within the very same passages, we encounter Him as
the Lamb who was slain. Christian worship must
contain both the cross and the crown."
Excerpt from Facedown by Matt Redman
