Minister’s Opening Words

We are about to discover the greatest message this world has ever known. From the start of this final book of the Bible, John announces that the unfolding revelation of “what must soon take place” has been entrusted by God the Father to His Son. To this very day, it is Jesus Himself who speaks from the heart of the Father to us. As we begin the captivating journey before us, we must not miss this; not only has this Revelation been entrusted to Jesus, it is all about Jesus!

Opening Scripture to Be Read

Let’s stand together in honor of God’s Word as we read John’s opening Prologue in Revelation Chapter 1, verses 1-3. 1 The revelation from Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John, 2 who testifies to everything he saw—that is, the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. 3Blessed is the one who reads aloud 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.

Everything here speaks of His presence and power, His great love and sacrifice, even of His enemies and His complete and final victory over everything dark in this world. No wonder, then, that an angel of the Lord gave strong command before the conclusion of this Revelation in Chapter 19, verse 10, “Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

From beginning to end, this greatest of prophetic books is bold in moving with divine authority ... View this full sermon with PRO Premium
