innocent Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 The church is His bride and He still walks the church, supervising and empowering the church. This teaches us that the church belong to Christ and he is not departed from the church spiritually, He left the Holy spirit to empower, teach, instruct and direct the church. It teaches us that Christ loves the church and cares for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barbara1 Posted February 10, 2005 Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 The significance of Jesus walking amoung the lampstands shows that He is in us as as we worship the Father and constantly teaching us through those that pastor to us through His word. It teaches us that the church should be the folkial point of our teaching as long as they do it through the bible ,the qord of God. It tells me that Jesus is the same today as He was during His life on earth, and will be as time goes by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johjoy Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Significance of Jesus walking among lampstands? He is with us, even as the exalted One. We still have access to Him. He is our center and our focus. What does this teach us about the church? The church serves to lift up Jesus, hold Him up for all to see (Matthew 5:14-16. Jesus said, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all people unto me. Therefore, our role is to lift Jesus up, (as a lamp is lifted by it stand.) Also, the lampstand does not shine except if the lamp is connected. Therefore, we cannot shine except if we are connected to Christ. Jesus among the lampstands reminds us of this important connection. For my own personal life, I see that I cannot shine my light as God has commanded me to do if I do not pray and read my Bible (the ways in which I connect to Jesus) and seek to hear from Him throughout the day. Also, the church simply means a body of believers. Here, the gathering of lampstands, those who exalt Christ and shine his Light. What does this teach us about Jesus? Jesus is the light. He walks with Us. Because of Him, we are not in darkness. Jesus keeps us (the church) together. He is our Center. He is Our Source. He is the Glory through whom we have access to glory and power. Thank You Jesus that even as the awesome, powerful God You are in whose presence I must bow and worship, I still have access to You and your light. Lord, help me to shine today in You and for You. In Jesus name. Amen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellymht Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Jesus walking among the lampstands tells me that he is alive within the church, and is present when we worship and praise Him. I have been to many churches that are dead. They don't understand the relationship with Christ or have never been taught it in the first place. It is such a blessing to belong to Christ and be able to worship in a house of God that reverences God in His fullness to include Christ and the Holy Spirit. This tells me that a church that had Christ in it is alive, as is the spirit of Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chenista Posted July 25, 2005 Report Share Posted July 25, 2005 Jesus is the head of churches - the lamp stands are the churches, the stars are the messsengers - he is above and with all churches and messengers - guiding them into fullness and richness. Churches are not here for us, they are here for them. We are not here to receive anything from Jesus or His church, we are here to give and to share the gifts of the spirit to complete His mision, His vision, and His purpose. It is all about Jesus, it is not about us - it should never be about us. If you read Matthew 10, it states that Jesus is more important than your family, your sons, daughters, mother, father, etc. - it is relationship with Jesus and His purpose that is most important and should always be most important. We are not suitable to serve Him if we cannot place Him first in our lives - the Alpha and Omega - He is our first love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No man cometh unto the Father but by me. The church is to look to Jesus because he is the only way to the father. This teaches us Jesus is our example. He is the light of the world.

Lisa Rupert Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Q5. What is the significance of the exalted Jesus walking among the lampstands? (1:12-20) What does this teach us about the church? What does it teach us about Jesus? Jesus is the light, the churches are the lampstand which are the bride of Jesus. Jesus walks amongst his people is what this is referring to. He doesn't walk amongst the church (building) per say what the church represents are God's people. Jesus is the way, the light that leads us, protects us, teaches us, and loves us. He has not abandoned us. He walks amongst us. Jesus is our Savior. He is our Lord. He is our Reedemer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlenereeves Posted February 10, 2007 Report Share Posted February 10, 2007 Q5. What is the significance of the exalted Jesus walking among the lampstands? (1:12-20) What does this teach us about the church? What does it teach us about Jesus? I see Jesus being exalted because he is God and victor over death and defeat of mere human strength and control. He encourages the church-the lampstands-to be strong and continue his work. I think Jesus defeated Satan many years ago and this teaches us to remain standing (faithful) doing what he has called us to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig Posted March 26, 2007 Report Share Posted March 26, 2007 Jesus is in the midst of the churches. The Lord God is working through the Church in bringing salvation to the world. Jesus is the Head of the Church and is in the midst of the church. The Church is the bride and Jesus Christ is the Groom. Jesus loves and cares for the Church and is concerned for its well-being.

plethra Posted April 17, 2007 Report Share Posted April 17, 2007 Q5. What is the significance of the exalted Jesus walking among the lampstands? (1:12-20) What does this teach us about the church? What does it teach us about Jesus? Jesus in the lampstands to me is Christ walking in the churches. He loves & cares for the church. He is still today in the midst of the churches speaking to His people the things that He wishes the church to know, and to change, and to be aware of. He loves the church and is even now lifting it up and edifying it, and wants it to be all that it can be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheastarr Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I think that the significance of Jesus walking among the lampstands means He is communicating with His people. I think that it shows He is among us even now interceding fo us as needed. I think that he brings reassurance that through the trials and tribulations that we must face each and every day He is still with us. He brings His presence among us, sinners as well as saved, rather than sitting off in Heaven somewhere on His throne waiting for judgement day and for everyone to come to Him.

korsgren Posted May 17, 2007 Report Share Posted May 17, 2007 Q5. What is the significance of the exalted Jesus walking among the lampstands? (1:12-20) What does this teach us about the church? What does it teach us about Jesus? I though about that with Jesus beingthe light on the lampstands too. It just struck me now when I read the passage that the churches are the lampstand, not the lamp. Jesus says to his disciples that they should let teir light shine so that all can see, put it on the lampstand so that everyone can see it. Maybe then the light is actually talking about thier tesstimoney, witness of Jesus. I see significance in Jesus being among the lampstands in two ways, relationship and authority, responsibility. It a picture of the exalted, triumfant jesus thant stands among the lampstands in authority over the church, the head, responsible for the church just as the church is accountable to Jesus.

JustJeff Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Jesus, walking amongst the seven lamps is our light, leading us out of darkness. This shows us that we, the church need to walk in the light, that is Jesus at the head and the light of His word. Jesus is the eternal lamp, forever the light of the world, the old and the new.

dharm Posted August 27, 2007 Report Share Posted August 27, 2007 The significance is that Jesus is top and most and the head of the body of Christ which is the church.

Bro Steven Posted October 26, 2007 Report Share Posted October 26, 2007 Jesus walking among the lampstands shows that Jesus walk among the churches today.

This teaches us that Jesus loves the church and is concern about the church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Spilman Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Q.5 Though exalted Christ is present among the church. As believer's we are Christ's followers. His presence and power is why the church (the called out who serve Him) exists. This vision shows presence and power, also Jesus speaking. Today His Word is spoken (Bible) to comfort and challenge the church. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 This shows us that Jesus is alive and living with us, as Christians. He is communicating with His church. Jesus takes and interest in us and what we are doing. He leads us and guides us - this didn't stop when He died - it was just the beginning. If we open the doors and listen to Him, we will hear Him speak. Take the time to listen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
