The sermon on Revelation 22:13&16 focused on the conjunction “And” between the five couplets of special names and titles for the Lord Jesus, come as Savior of sinners. The wonderfulness of Jesus’ names and titles in the Bible, (over 200!) is that His names are not simply labels but true descriptions and declarations of who He is in all His fullness and sufficiency as Saviour. “O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:1. On top of this, there is so much precious and powerful gospel tidings in the conjunction “and” just with the ten names and titles given us in Rev. 22:13 & 16! To see this by God’s grace and Spirit, just imagine if it was not so, and ponder the glorious fact that it is so! The Christ of the inspired Scriptures is climatically proclaimed in the last chapter of the Bible, with Jesus testifying of Himself for His people and all the world to know of Him, “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end….I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright [and] morning star.” (“And” emboldened only to emphasize the sermon focus based on the Scripture texts.) Hallelujah, what a Saviour!
