What a beautiful creature! This picture exudes majesty and a kingly presence that almost takes your breath away. It is no wonder that the lion is called “King of the jungle”!!!
In Scripture, Jesus is referred to as “The lion of the tribe of Judah” and is worthy of that title as well as the other 99 found in the Bible.
Why? Read on…
Revelation 5 ( World English Bible )
1 I saw, in the right hand of him who sat on the throne, a book written inside and outside, sealed shut with seven seals. 2 I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the book, and to break its seals?” 3 No one in heaven above, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look in it. 4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look in it. 5 One of the elders said to me, “Don’t weep. Behold, the Lion who is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome; he who opens the book and its seven seals.” (emphasis added) 6 I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7 Then he came, and he took it out of the right hand of him who sat on the throne. 8 Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
9 They sang a new song, saying,
“You are worthy to take the book,
and to open its seals:
for you were killed,
and bought us for God with your blood,
out of every tribe, language, people, and nation,
10 and made us kings and priests to our God,
and we will reign on earth.” (emphasis added)

and we will reign on earth.” (emphasis added)
Mankind may reject Jesus, but that does not change who he is and what he has done for those who believe and obey him. Jesus is King of kings and Lord of lords, period. Accept that and obey his gospel and LIVE!!!
What Jesus has done is worthy of our thanks, our praise and the dedication of our lives; share HIS GOSPEL with others- today!!!
