I started a new podcast series called “The Book of Revelation”. I will be going through portions of the Book of Revelation and giving commentary on what the Apostle John is writing to the 7 churches he mentions and sharing it’s relevance for us today. In “Episode 1” I am in Revelation 1:1-8 where the Apostle John gives us some divine perspective from which to see the chaos and conflict of the past, present and future from so we can live our our story in alignment with God’s larger story that is unfolding.
Revelation 1:1-8
1 The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who bore witness to the word of God and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, even to all that he saw. 3 Blessed is the one who reads aloud the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear, and who keep what is written in it, for the time is near. 4 John to the seven churches that are in Asia: Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven spirits who are before his throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 6 and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. 7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
Rom. 5:8
but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
