Revelation Quote
The more we become like Christ, the more we can expect persecution. The world can admire goodness, but it cannot stand godliness.

Right beliefs and outward service
cannot make up for a cold heart.
– John MacArthur on Ephesians 2:1-7 in Because The Time Is Near
Revelation Quote
The loss of a vital love relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ opened the doors to spiritual apathy and indifference to others. Despite its outwardly robust appearance, a deadly spiritual cancer was growing at the heart of the Ephesian church.

Revelation Quote
The reality of Christ’s presence in the church by His Spirit reminds us of His awareness of all that goes on within it. Are we as aware of His presence as He is aware of the state of our hearts?
– G.K. Beale on Revelation 1:9-20 in Revelation: A Shorter Commentary
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.
– Leon Morris on Revelation 1:12-20 in The Revelation of St. John (TNCT)
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.
– James M. Hamilton, Jr. on Revelation 1:9-20 in Revelation (PTC)
Revelation Quote
The essential thing about a priest is that he mediates. He speaks to God on behalf of men and to men on behalf of God. Believers are assigned this responsible task by their God. They are to pray to God for the world. And they are to witness to the world of what God has done.
– Leon Morris on Revelation 1:6 in The Revelation of St. John (TNTC)
Revelation Quote
Are you living like you belong to the kingdom of Jesus? Does your life attest that dominion belongs to Jesus? Do you live like he is your Lord? Is he Lord over your Internet usage? Is he Lord over your money? Is he Lord over your ambitions for your children? Is he Lord over your conversations?
