Supreme Pizza?

One of my favorite pizzas is supreme!  It’s the loaded all you want on it stuff that piles on the toppings.  For some reason just a plain pepperoni pizza does not work anymore.  Growing up that is all I would eat! (Still remember winning the Pizza challenge when I ate an entire 18 inch pie by myself and beat my friend, glorious!)

What is your favorite pizza?  I think why I like supreme is because nothing tops it!  It satisfies my every want, taste, desire and liking.  There are other examples of things that are supreme.  The music group, a lion, a view from Everest, etc...

But one remains supreme above all, Jesus Christ!  Jesus Christ is supreme!  No, He is not a pizza, but I bet His pizza’s are the best!  He is supreme over all of human kind.  The Bible describes Him as the KING of Kings and the LORD of Lords.  The RULER of Rulers, the PRESIDENT of PRESIDENTS and the book of Revelation does not shy back from this fact.  

Three supreme statements are given to Him in the book:

  1. 1) JESUS IS THE ALPHA AND OMEGA. (Revelation 1-3)
(Revelation 1:7-8)  “Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. 8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." 

Also read Revelation 1:14-18.  Next He is described as

  1. 2) JESUS IS THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE. (Revelation 6-18) 
  • The Seal Judgments (Rev 6, 8:1-2) 
  • The Trumpet Judgments (Rev 8:2-9:21, 11:15-19)
  • The Bowl Judgments: (Rev 16:1-21)
(Revelation 16:5)  “Then I heard the angel in charge of the waters say: "You are just in these judgments, you who are and who were, the Holy One, because you have so judged…" 

And finally He is…
  1. 3) JESUS IS THE KING OF KINGS. (Revelation 19-20)

“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. 13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God. 14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.” (Revelation 19:11-16)

He is and was the original born supremacy!  Sorry I could not resist, great movie BTW!
