Sermon notes
John writes revelation to give us a new picture of Jesus that leads us to a new perspective of worship.
Revelation 1:9-16
First, Jesus is described as a PRIESTLY REDEEMER in a robe and a sash.
Next, Jesus is described as a POWERFUL RULER.
“The Christians were a pitiably small group, persecuted by mighty foes. To all outward appearance their situation was hopeless. So for these persecuted ones it was important that first of all the glory and the majesty of the risen Lord be made clear.” Leon Morris (Revelation 1987)
John writes revelation to give us a new picture of Jesus that leads us to a new perspective of worship.
No matter how bad it gets, just keep your eyes on Jesus.
