The last word on Christ is a glorified and risen Savior. He is the Son of Man, given dominion, power, and authority of all things because he was crucified and was raised from the dead. In this he defeated death and the grave. In a world that seems to be overcome by the powers of sin and evil, the eternal Christ stands in the midst of his Church holding power over all the universe. It is in this context John sees his vision and falls dead. Is Christ safe? No, he is most certainly not safe. But he is good.
