John Hagee (September-24-2025) Daily Devotional: Revelation 1:18 - I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
Jesus is alive! In the middle of busy, complicated days, we often need a reminder. He lives to redeem our lives from destruction, to declare the good news, to heal the brokenhearted, and to deliver the oppressed.
Two thousand years ago, His enemies crucified Him at Calvary. But three days later, He rose – victorious over death, hell, and the grave. Because of Him, we boldly proclaim, “O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” (I Corinthians 15:55)
After His resurrection, He walked the earth for forty days showing Himself alive “by many infallible proofs” (Acts 1:3). Then, He ascended into heaven to sit in power at the right hand of God. All angels, powers, and authorities have been made subject to Him.
And there, He intercedes for us. He does not rest or sleep. He watches over us, filling us up with His power and His presence. Whenever two or more of us get together in His name, there He is right in the middle.
Take a moment to inhale the wonder of Him – as near as your breath. Close your eyes and see Him there at the Father’s elbow – continuing to plead your cause. All around us, He is at work. He lives!
Blessing: May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you and give you His peace. Live in the wonder that Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God slain, the King of kings, has conquered death, hell, and the grave. He is alive forevermore!
