October 4, 2023: The Revelation Of Jesus Christ

"The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place. He made it known by sending his angel to his servant John," (Revelation 1:1, ESV)

You must see Jesus to overcome! Seeing Jesus empowers us to overcome sin, trials, crises, pain, loss, and disappointments. In crisis, the question we must ask is, "Where is God?" If I can see Him amid my struggles, I will overcome.

The first five words of the Book of Revelation are: "The Revelation of Jesus Christ." It is not the revelation of the end times. It is the revelation of Jesus Christ! You must see Jesus to overcome in this life. Also, notice that the revelation is given to John to give to the servants of Jesus Christ. He wants us to see Him in all things we face.

The Father knew that the only thing that would empower an end-time church to face wickedness, disappointment, adversity, pain, and loss would be a revelation of His Son, Jesus Christ.

Have you noticed there are thirty-four truths about the majesty of Jesus Christ found in the first three chapters of the Book of Revelation? Seeing Jesus and setting my eyes on Him gives me spiritual blinders to focus on Him during difficulties. He is bigger than anything I will ever face, so I must keep my eyes on Him. If I do not, I will begin to sink into fear. May we receive revelation knowledge of Jesus Christ!
