As we embark on a journey through the Book of Revelation, we're invited to see it not as a puzzle to be solved, but as a picture book revealing God's ongoing work in our world. This apocalyptic text isn't meant to confuse or frighten us, but to unveil truths about Jesus Christ and His kingdom. The very first verses promise a blessing to those who read, hear, and keep the words of this prophecy. This challenges us to approach Revelation not just with curiosity about future events, but with a willingness to be transformed by its message today. We're called to listen, obey, and allow these ancient words to shape who we are becoming as followers of Christ. As we dive into this powerful book over the next 13 weeks, let's open our hearts to receive the blessings God has in store for us, ready to be changed by His revelation.
