Are you ever tempted to despair? It could be due to opposition, persecution or oppression – it just seems like darkness is winning. Do you ever wonder, “God, where are you? What are you doing? What’s going on?” Revelation 1 answers those questions with a breathtaking encounter with Jesus. This encounter has brought comfort, assurance and strength to the church for centuries. It not only pulls back the curtain on who Jesus is, it pulls back the curtain on what’s really going on.
