“His feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace… When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead.” -REVELATION 1:15,17 ESV
When this other side of Christ was revealed to John, he “fell at His feet as though dead.” At the Last Supper, John had leaned on the Lord’s breast and eaten dinner with Him. In this context, however, he can do nothing but collapse at His feet.
There at His feet we discover there is a difference between the Holy and the Human; the One Who comes from Above, and the ones who come from Below; the One Who is Spirit and Truth, and those of us who are merely flesh and blood. His feet are burnished bronze. This is His majesty, and His righteousness. It immediately identifies Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, the Righteous Judge, the Living Word Who discerns the thoughts and intents of the heart.

That’s a powerful message we all need to be at the Lord’s feet, especially to gain the peace in our lives we all need so desperately. To hand over all our burdens that’s why jesus wants us there that’s why he went to the cross for us who need to be at his feet.Amen

only one that can predestinated because He knows the intentions, thoughts and
actions so we really better surrender to Him. Oh Lord!, your Will not ours!
