Three titles of Jesus Christ. – Rev 1:5
Vs 5 – In this verse were are introduced to three titles, characteristics of Jesus Christ. He is the faithful and true witness. He spoke of the Kingdom when He was on earth. He testified of the Father during His earthly sojourn. Next, Jesus is the first born among the dead. Paul would use this same phrase in Romans 8:29. Jesus was the first to be resurrected but He will not be the last. He is the ruler among the kings of the earth. Jesus is known as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
John then reveals three things that Jesus did for us. He loves us. Jesus loved us so much that even while we were yet sinners He died for us. No greater love than this that a man will lay down His life for a friend. Amazingly enough is that Jesus did this even before we knew Him or about Him. Next, Jesus freed s from our sins. We are no longer sinners but saints. We can be free and stay free from the power of sin. Thirdly, this was brought about by and through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. The blood of Jesus Christ is the most powerful element in the universe. Nothing can stop or overcome the blood of Jesus Christ.
