Revelation Quote

Revelation Quote
The Christians were a pitiably small remnant, persecuted by mighty foes. To all outward appearance their situation was hopeless. But it is only as Christ is seen for what He really is that anything else can be seen in its true perspective. So for these persecuted ones it was important that first of all the glory and the majesty of the risen Lord be brought out.

Revelation Quote
In 1:9-20, the risen Christ appears in glory to capture the imagination and constrain the obedience of John’s audience, and we are part of that audience. The risen Christ in glory summons forth obedience from his churches.
