Jesus Christ in Rev. 1
Revelation 1:
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks [one] like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword: and his countenance [was] as the sun shineth in his strength.
This scripture is not to tell us what Christ looks like but rather who he is.
John had no words to describe the appearance of Christ but could only say "like" or "as if".
From this scripture we learn that Christ is.....
The Perfect Priest
The Only Pure One
The Source of Strength
The Sound of Love
The Everlasting Light
As I read this I realized that it is much more important in the present age to know who Jesus Christ is than what he looks like. After all, we have eternity to enjoy His beauty.
