Written by Ann Spangler, a contemporary author. This is an excerpt from her book “Praying the Names of God for 52 Weeks.”

Only once in the New Testament is Jesus described as a lion. The book of Revelation (named in part for what it reveals about Christ) portrays the risen Jesus as the only one worthy to open the scroll that contains the ultimate unfolding of God’s purposes for the world. The apostle John perceived Jesus as both Lion and Lamb, who through his death and resurrection becomes the ultimate victor and conqueror. When you pray to Jesus as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, you are praying to the one with the power to banish all fear, to the one who watches over you with his fierce protecting love. You are also praying to the one who is judge of the living and the dead.

Prayer:

Written by Jeff Jones, a contemporary pastor.

Father, thank you for leading us and guiding us in the things you want us to learn from Jesus the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Please give us a passion and desire to worship you in the way that those in Heaven worship you in Revelation 5. Lord, we ask you to challenge and change us as we continue to pursue You and grow in our relationship with You. Thank you God for your Word and your love. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
