He Reigns Forever

. . . He will reign for ever and ever.

Revelations 11:15

Today's Bible Reading: Revelations 11:15-19.

The Lord Jesus taught His disciples a very important truth — and one we need to take very seriously. The truth is this: Some day, all evil will be destroyed, and God, not Satan, will be victorious. God alone is sovereign, and even when it looks like Satan is winning (as it did when God's Son, Jesus was put to death), his “victory” is only temporary.

Yes, some day the final battle will be fought between good and evil… between God and Satan… between the powers of light and the powers of darkness. And God will be the victor in that battle, and Christ will come again to establish His Kingdom of perfect justice and love. Some day, the Bible says, the angelic voices will proclaim that “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever” (Revelation 11:15).

In a world of turmoil and uncertainty, we can have hope; hope for this world, and hope for eternity. Why? Because of Jesus Christ and what He has done for us through His death and resurrection. Is your hope in Him? If not, turn to Him in repentance and faith today.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, thank You that all is well because You are on Your throne, and You reign forever, and forever. Amen.
