John’s vision continues with striking imagery: flashes of lightning, rumblings, and peals of thunder emanating from the throne, symbolizing God’s awesome power and judgment. Before the throne are seven blazing lamps, representing the fullness of the Spirit, and a sea of glass, clear as crystal, reflecting His holiness and purity.

This scene reminds us that worship is not casual but rather it is a response to the majesty and might of the living God.

In this message, Pastor Pete reminds us to approach God with reverence, to depend on the Spirit’s fullness for strength and guidance in daily life, and to let the vision of His purity inspire us to live holy and set apart for Him.

In this passage, John is invited to “come up here” and is given a vision of heaven’s throne room. This moment shifts the focus from the letters to the churches to the majesty and sovereignty of God. The open door symbolizes access to God’s presence through Christ, the Lamb. The throne represents ultimate authority, reminding us that no matter the chaos on earth, God reigns supreme. The description of jasper and carnelian reflects His holiness and glory, while the rainbow around the throne speaks of His covenant faithfulness and mercy.

In this fourth message of the Behold the Lamb series, we see Jesus not as a distant observer but as the One who walks among His church. Revelation 2–3 contains letters to seven churches, each revealing a Savior who is present, personal, and purposeful. These chapters remind us that the mission has never changed. Jesus is guiding His people safely home.

Jesus is not absent; He is among us.

This message in the Behold the Lamb series focuses on one of the most intimate and powerful moments in Scripture: the tender touch of Jesus on John’s shoulder as recorded in Revelation 1:17–20. After decades of separation from Christ’s physical presence, John falls “like a dead man” before the glorified Jesus. Then comes the touch. A simple gesture that speaks volumes.

Christ’s touch transforms fear into faith!

This second message in the Behold the Lamb series calls us to move beyond a passing glance at Jesus and take a good, long look at the King of Kings. Just as a quick glance led to disaster at Gettysburg, a shallow view of Christ can lead to spiritual ruin. Revelation 1:4–8 invites us to behold Jesus in His fullness.

There is always a turning point. Make today yours by truly beholding the King.

This opening message in the Behold the Lamb series reminds us that the book of Revelation is not a riddle to decode but rather it is a revelation to behold. Its purpose is not to confuse us with timelines and symbols but to center us on Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who reigns in glory.

Don’t miss the point. Don’t miss the Person. Behold the Lamb!
