All Things New: A Study in RevelationPrøve

What does it say? During worship, the resurrected Christ appeared to the apostle John and told him to write down what he saw and send it to the seven churches. What does it mean? The Book of Revelation is John’s testimony of the vision given to him by Jesus while he was on the island of Patmos. He was in exile there because of his faithfulness to testify of Jesus Christ and God’s works. But even in exile, John made time to worship. During that time, the resurrected and glorified Christ appeared to reveal the consummation of His redemptive plan. Amid tribulation and suffering, John was privileged to witness the final glorious message of Jesus Christ. How should I respond? Are you experiencing difficulty because you took a stand for truth? When you choose to worship the Lord in any situation, your actions give a faithful testimony of your trust in the goodness and grace of God. Where can you be a faithful witness? Maybe a friend needs comfort or help; then reach out to that person in the name of Jesus. Perhaps a neighbor needs to hear the truth of the Gospel. Faithfulness is never a losing proposition, regardless of what personal discomfort it may cause. Will you be faithful in your worship and your witness today?
