Who is Jesus? #94 (From the Apocalypse)

The next aspect of this description of Jesus that John sees is, "His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow..."(1:14).
White has many conotations, I think, in scripture. Purity comes to mind. Being made pure by the blood of Jesus - but what else?
Daniel saw a similar vision and told us about it in Daniel 7:9. "As I looked, thrones were set in place and the Ancient of Days took His seat. His clothing was as white as snow: the hair of his head was white like wool."
This "white as wool" seems to indicate the authorty of God. For John it reminded him and his readers that Jesus was God and was/is in the presence of God.
If a priest (last several blogs) was one who went to God in behalf of the people and Jesus is God, then....???
Too much to think about right now, but no wonder Thomas said, after he was convicted, "My Lord and my God.

Be Strong and Courageous,
