This Historical Figure Keeps Me Hysterical with Love, Joy, and Peace!

Daily writing prompt
Who is your favorite historical figure?

Roaring crowds like to gather to shout the greatness of sports teams and musicians for hours. Sports and music are treasured to the point of idolatry, but they are no gods at all. They are merely a focus for pleasure producing pride — a place to shout, “We’re number one!” “We’re the coolest!” “We’re the greatest!”

There is one human being who is proclaimed as the greatest of all time — the Creator in human flesh. He’s not a sports or music “g.o.a.t.” He’s the lamb of God — the sacrifice for human sin who gave His life on the Cross, was buried, and rose to live again forever. He is Lord — the King, Sovern, and Master of the Universe.

“I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they were saying:
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!’ Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying: ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever.’” (Revelation 5:11-13.) I love to join with that crowd throughout the day and boldly worship Jesus the risen Lord!

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
