“I am he that liveth, and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death.” Commentary: These are the words of Jesus given to the Apostle John. This scripture is in red letters! John is in prison on a slave labor camp on Patmos! A stone quarry! The rock pile! Jesus has given John these revelations to his church! Jesus was telling us he was separated from God in the heart of the earth preaching to the captives between the crucifixion and his resurrection from the dead! He is alive by the quickening of his spirit by his Father! Quickened forever continuing eternally forever! Jesus says he also has the keys to hell of the departed souls separated from God! He also has the keys to death that accompanies their condition and position of separation from me! I can with my keys release you from eternal judgment but you must receive me as Savior in this life now! Jesus is whether in heaven, earth or hell his message is the same! If you will receive the revelation of his Salvation everything else will work out! Then as part of his church revelation will continue to flow to you! All things become new! Old things are passed away! His word en-powers you to do ministry in the earth to reach the lost! His purpose of your life is released in relationship to him! He will give you the power and authority to release the captives that are destined for hell and death! Then you do what Jesus did here while on earth! His purpose is released through his church! Are you involved in the harvest? Are bringing in the sheaves? You are either bringing people to God or you are driving them away! Your life reflects either redemption or judgment! Time is short!
