Rider on a White Horse

Revelation 19:11 "I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.  With justice he judges and makes war."

Among all of the horses, angels, demons, beasts and dragons mentioned in Revelation, there emerges a great rider on a white horse.  The rider is faithful and true, he is dressed in a robe dipped with blood and his name is the Word of God.  John tells us that "in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word was God."  This rider in Revelation 19 is the word and is Jesus.  On his robe and thigh another name is written- "King of Kings and Lord of Lords." The book of Revelation depicts a twisted nightmarish conclusion to the world, but in the end, the hero, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords prevails.  The story that began at the cross, concludes with a strong rider on a white horse.  He is our hero, he is our defender, and he is our Lord!  In response to this I will sing my guts out on Sunday!  And why wait?  Crank the Crowder now!  Amen!
