Four Faces We Need

 Scripture:

“Each of the winged creatures had four faces: the face of a bull, the face of a human, the face of a lion, and the face of an eagle.”  ‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭10‬:‭14‬ ‭CEV‬‬

Observation:

The winged creatures in Ezekiel’s vision had the faces of a bull, a human, a lion, and an eagle. These faces reappear in the book of Revelation. History calls them the tetramorph. Ancient artists have painted these as well. Many scholars refer to the Gospels the same way; as the same from creatures. It is a beautiful way of looking at God.

Application:

As a follower of Christ, we are suppose to follow His example and live as He lived. We can summarize how He lived with these creatures. The bull is a humble worker, a servant. The human shows us Christ came to earth to relate to man. We should never be too proud to lower ourselves and serve others. The lion speaks of strength and confidence. We should be as courageous as a lion. The eagle is a majestic animal with incredible vision. We should be people who understand our position of royalty and have vision to lead God’s people.

Prayer:

Father, You are awesome and I love You so much. Help me to live a tetramorph type of life. Enable me to serve and lead with dignity and royalty. Help me to always walk in authority and have vision for God’s house. Teach me Your ways and help me to be more like You each day.

Your Son,

Jeff
