Seeing The Glorified Jesus | Revelation 1: 9–20 | Joey Zorina

What comes to your mind when you think about Jesus? As we saw last week, John had begun his first sentence with “the revelation of Jesus Christ” (v. 1). The whole book is a prophecy of unfolding events and what Jesus is saying to churches facing persecution, compromise and false teaching. Yet, Jesus is not only the revealer of the truths, but also the one being revealed as John said in vv. 4–8. And this grand vision of Jesus had come to John—not in a time of comfort and ease but in a time of great suffering. So, in our passage, we’ll look at: a) The patient endurance in our sufferings. b) The portrait of our warrior-King. c) The presence of Jesus in our fears.
