The 4 living creatures are not just symbolic of Christ’s ministry but they display the Father’s Perfect Will concerning us.
While on the Earth, all the works that Jesus Christ did were according to His Father’s Perfect Will concerning us which were:
The Lion - King (Most High Authority)
Jesus Christ showed us the Father’s Supreme Authority when the winds and seas obeyed Him, all evil spirits and demons obeyed Him, no one had ever spoken with such authority…
We are to humbly submit to God’s Authority joyfully and willingly.
The Calf/Ox - High Priest (Melchizedek)
Jesus Christ showed us the Father’s Heart to minister to us by blessing us, praying for us and meeting all our needs with provision every time Jesus Christ healed someone, fed the 5,000 with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, pulled money out of a fish’s mouth for disciples to pay their taxes…. It is the Father’s Perfect Will to meet all our needs by blessing us and making us a blessing to others.
We are to trust God to supply and meet all our needs, without worrying or fretting.
The Man - Savior
Jesus Christ showed us the Father’s Perfect Will to save us from all our sins by Him dying for us on the cross. The Father has provided Salvation in Jesus Christ.
We are to receive His Gift of Salvation and not try to save ourselves with good works because it is impossible for us to be good enough to save ourselves.
The Flying Eagle- Deliverer
Jesus Christ showed us the Father’s Perfect Will to deliver us from our enemies, death and hades (hell) every time He raised someone from the dead.
We are to believe in the promise of God that the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the grave will also raise us up and in the blink of an eye we will be changed from corruptible to incorruptible, mortal to immortal.
