In this episode, Gordon and Mark reflect on the opening vision of the book of Revelation in chapter 1.   The apostle John—now about 90 years old—receives a glorious and overwhelming visit from Jesus Christ, the Son of God.  

John, who walked with Jesus decades earlier, now encounters Him in His full heavenly splendor as the risen Son of God.  The scene highlights the majesty and power of Jesus. John is overcome by His presence, reminding listeners that the Jesus who once walked humbly on earth is also the radiant King of Kings clothed in God’s glory, the atonement for sin, and the embodiment of truth.  Gordon emphasizes the central truth of the gospel—that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life—and that all mankind need Him. There is no other path to salvation. 

Together, Gordon and Mark discuss several of the vivid descriptions John uses to portray what he sees: Jesus shining with divine brilliance, speaking with authority, and standing in power as the righteous judge and savior. These details are unpacked to help listeners visualize the awe-inspiring image that Revelation gives of Christ. 

The episode concludes with a firm and hopeful reminder: Jesus will return. H is coming will not be hidden or secret, but a grand and majestic event visible to all. Just as John saw Him in glory, the world will one day witness the triumphant return of the King of Kings.
