Don't fear...he's got the keys

(Originally written November 8)

Today: Revelation 1-3

Have you ever locked your keys in a car?

It can be VERY frustrating! I remember one incident when my mom locked her keys inside the car while it was still running. Luckily, this particular event happened within a few blocks of the dealership where she purchased the car. A representative from the dealer ship came to the scene quickly—what a relief! We could pile in the car and head out to our next destination.
Did you know that God has a set of keys? Here’s what the Word said today:

Don’t fear:
I am First, I am Last, I am Alive.
I died, but I came to life,
and my life is now forever.
See these keys in my hand?
They open and lock Death’s doors,
they open and lock Hell’s gates.

Today we started reading the book of Revelation—probably one of the most-talked-about books of the Bible. For years, people have used Revelation to predict when the world will end and when Christ will return. There are countless books, movies, articles and different perspectives that sound very scary. But in this passage, Jesus told John not to fear—we should also follow His instructions. God’s been around since before time itself, He will be around forever, He’s alive today…and he’s got a serious key ring.

Tomorrow: Revelation 4-8
