Called, Chosen, Faithful

In Revelation 17 I recently read how the ten kings “will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings – and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers” (v. 14).

I realize that there may be a time when God’s children will suffer under the power of wicked people and policies. But, a day is coming when all that will be reversed. The kingdoms and authorities and rulers of darkness will make war against the Lamb. The Lamb will overcome them because he alone is King of kings and Lord of lords! And, with the Lamb will be his called, chosen, and faithful followers.

Will you be there with Jesus? You can be, and so can your family. Jesus overcomes because of who he is. We overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of our testimony (Revelation 12.11). Jesus shed his blood for the sins of the world. If we, by faith, answer his call and confess him as Lord, we become his called faithful and chosen followers.

For me, this means I will be with him! Lana will be with him! Jenny, Eric, Avery and Soon-to-Be will be with him! Emily will be with him! Jaclyn will be with him! Amy and Jon will be with him! Praise the Lord! For, by his grace, we are:

• Called!
• Chosen!
• Faithful!

See you there!
