Rev 6:2 | MHM | STEP | v. 2 : John sees a vision of Jesus riding a white horse (Revelation 6:2 ). In war, white horses are rare because they make the rider easy to see, but Jesus rides one because He is certain of victory. The white horse stands for the pure gospel, which many people reject, but it will win in the end. Jesus carries a bow, which means His words and teachings are powerful and reach far, like sharp arrows. Ministers may not know where their words will go, but God guides them to the right place. A crown is given to Jesus, showing He is the true King, and everyone who believes the gospel must accept Him as their King. Even though He goes to battle, He is given a crown, which is a sign that He will win. Jesus goes out “conquering, and to conquer,” meaning He keeps winning victories, both over sin in His people and over evil in the world. The work of Christ takes time. The gospel often meets resistance, but Christ’s kingdom will grow and succeed in the end. Before hard times come, God gives people the chance to hear the gospel. The work of Jesus does not happen all at once, but He will finish it in His own way and time.
