The words "the revelation of Jesus Christ" can be understood in two ways: 1) that which reveals Jesus Christ, or 2) that which Jesus Christ reveals. Perhaps we should understand it both ways. Today, I will look at the first way.
The last book of the Bible tells us a great deal about Jesus. It tells of his birth, of the attempt to kill him at birth, of his sacrificial death, of his ascension to the Father, of his authority over the churches, of the glory he shares with the Father, of his dominion over spiritual and human forces, of his second coming, of his victory over all that is evil, and of his reward for the saints. He is Lord of lords and King of kings yet he is intimately concerned about those who serve him. He rebukes, warns, exhorts, encourages, protects, blesses, and makes promises to them.
Revelation is more concerned that we know Jesus than the time of his coming. Do you know him today?
