The Rider on the White Horse
Julius settles into the life of a soldier in the Roman army.
The training drills continue.
Every day he marches and uses the heavy wooden weapons to develop his strength and endurance.
Finally, the general calls the soldiers to break camp and set out to face the enemy.
The entire unit moves at the word of the general.
He directs their path, paces their journey, and protects them from the enemy by altering their course.
He pushes them to give more and orders them to set up camp and rest when fatigue overwhelms them.
Everything Julius’ unit does is coordinated by the general.
No detail goes unnoticed.
Julius is blessed to serve under a general who is capable of more than brilliant military strategy.
He has the heart to inspire the loyalty of the men who fight under his command.
This general doesn’t separate himself from the fighting men.
He fights alongside them.
He lives in the same tents and endures the same hardships.
He watches over them and infuses them with courage for the battle.
It is his leadership that guides Julius’ steps.
*Write Ephesians 6:10 below.
Circle the name of our General.*

As soldiers of the cross, we serve a mighty General.
We move at His command.
His presence guides our steps and protects us as we journey through enemy territory.
He watches over us and provides for our needs.
Every aspect of our lives is touched by the sovereignty and care of the General.
No piece of our hearts is too small for Him to notice.
Read Revelation 19:11-16.
*Describe the rider on the white horse.*

The book of Revelation gives us a powerful picture of our General.
Everything about Him highlights His majesty and splendor.
He is arrayed in might and power, and His glory is dazzling.
As the picture unfolds we are allowed to see the heart of our General and an amazing portrait of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
/Our General is called Faithful and True./
As the army of the Lord, we serve a General who is faithful and true.
We can depend on His word, trust His leadership, and rely on His promises.
He will not waver or change in His love for us.
His power will not falter, nor will He ever provide less than what we need to meet the moment.
His faithfulness allows our faith to grow deep roots.
/Our General is crowned with many crowns./
Jesus is Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
We move as soldiers in His army and also live as citizens in His kingdom.
He is sovereign.
He rules on the thrones of our hearts.
As King, we bow before Him and give Him honor and praise.
As General, we listen to His voice and heed His commands.
As Lord, we experience the joy of living in His presence.
/ /
/Our General is dressed in a robe dipped in blood./
Jesus is the Lamb of God.
He lives as our full sacrifice for sin, and His blood cleanses us from all unrighteousness.
The cross stands as the ultimate sign of the battle for men’s souls and the victory Christ bought with His life.
His blood purchased our peace and allows us to take a place next to His side.
/ /
/Our General’s name is the Word of God./ Jesus is the full revelation of God to man.
He is the Word who was with the Father in the beginning and through whom all things were created for His good pleasure.
The Word is God and, when He became flesh, He showed us the glory of the Father.
We come to know God through His Word.
We learn to live in His presence by spending time with the Word.
Our lives are transformed by the power of the Word.
*Close your eyes and picture Christ sitting on the throne as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
How does this picture help you praise Him more richly?
Surrender more fully?*
Our General is magnificent in splendor and worthy of our praise and adoration.
With eyes like blazing fire, He searches out the enemy and seeks out those whose hearts are turned toward Him.
It is a stunning picture of our General as we see Him surrounded by glory and shining brighter than the sun.
Jesus, however, does not dwell in a place far away from His soldiers.
Like the Roman generals who inspired their troops with their presence, Jesus lived among us and shared our hardships.
