Revelation chapter 17 verse 14, they will make war on the lamb, and the lamb will conquer them

for he is Lord of lords and king of kings, and those with him are called and chosen and faithful.

I love this verse when we read Revelation chapter 17 and you see a judgment on Satan, the devil,

and all of his demons and all they are doing on the earth to deceive and to destroy.

It talks about them making war on the lamb, and even seeing this picture warring against Jesus

in the context of war against the people of Jesus, the church, to remember that when Satan is

coming after you, he is coming after Jesus. For all who trust in Jesus, he identifies himself

with you. War against the church is war against Christ, and I just want to encourage you,

remember that when you are tempted that you have Jesus in you, when you're walking through trials,

you have Jesus with you on your side, walking with you, protecting you, guiding you,

leading you, directing you, giving you everything you need, that Satan's wars against you,

are wars against the lamb, and the lamb will conquer them. For he is Lord of lords and king of

kings and those with him. Listen to this description. This is again for all who trust in Jesus.

If you've never put your trust in Jesus, I urge you put your trust in Jesus today,

as the Lord of lords and the king of kings, and the one who alone can save you from your sins.

And for all who trust in him, you are, listen to these three words, you're called by God.

There's so much to this language we could talk about all over the Bible,

foreknown by God. Called before the creation of the world, he's called your name,

you're called and chosen. God has chosen to pour out his affection on you.

God has chosen to save you from your sin. God has chosen to make you his child. This is Jesus

saying to his disciples, you did not choose me. I chose you to hear God saying this to you today.
