Passage: Revelation 1:9-20

Revelation 1:9-20

Introduction

In a sense, the book of Revelation is a new way of looking at the world. It is a new way of looking at challenges, heartbreak, and triumphs in life. In Revelation, Jesus pulls back the curtain to show John (and us) the truth. Revelation helps us to view today in light of what is to come. It reminds us that sometimes things are not as they seem. Whether we like it or not, Revelation reveals a reality of what we all will face one day.

The Revelation of Jesus Christ wakes us up from a dream world that pretends that God is insignificant or can be ignored without consequence. The purpose is our obedience. Psalm 115 reminds us that we eventually become like the idols we create. If you love, trust, and worship Jesus, you will soon become like Him - transformed by the vision of His glory. The vision of John transforms his vision of his world. It should be our prayer that this same vision transforms us as well.
