~ How The Apostle John Saw Jesus
Christ ~
He Saw His Glory
~ “And
the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as
of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John bore witness
of Him and cried out, saying, ‘This was He of whom I said, “He who comes after
me is preferred before me, for He was before me.”’ And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace”
(John 1:14-16).
He Saw The Transfiguration
~ “And
a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying,
‘This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!’ Suddenly, when they had looked around, they
saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves” (Mark 9:7-8).
He Saw The
Crucifixion ~ “When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the
disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, ‘Woman, behold your
son!’ Then He said to the disciple, ‘Behold your mother!’ And from that hour
that disciple took her to his own home” (John 19:26-27).
He Saw Him After His Resurrection
~ “And
after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus
came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, ‘Peace to you!’”
(John 21:26).
He Saw The Revelation
~ “Then
I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven
golden lampstands, and in the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of
Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a
golden band. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His
eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a
furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; He had in His right hand
seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance
was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His
feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the First and
the Last. 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. Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the
things which will take place after this” (Revelation 1:12-19).
the key question:
“Who do you say that I am?” (Matthew 16:15). This is the most important
question you will ever answer. If you do not answer it, or answer it
incorrectly, you have made the biggest mistake anyone can make!
