LISTEN to Revelation
It can be argued that there is no book more neglected or misunderstood in all of the Bible than the Book of Revelation. Some have twisted and mistreated the bizarre imagery found in the 22 Chapters of Revelation, while others have stayed away from it all together.
Although the content of Revelation might seem a bit confusing at first, taking the time to dive a bit deeper will reveal this book is as relevant today as it was nearly two thousand years ago. I love the promise found in the first chapter for those that choose to read Revelation and take it’s words seriously. John writes :
“Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near.” – Revelation 1:3
Over the next several months, we will dive into this great book together as we gather for worship each Sunday. We will continue our discussion further in smaller groups through our house churches during the week. My prayer is that we will not simply read these words, but that we will hear them and take them to heart as together we receive the blessing of seeing and worshipping more fully Jesus the Lamb, Jesus the Lion, Jesus the Priest, Jesus the Judge, Jesus the Warrior, and Jesus the King.
