Jesus Christ in the Midst of His Church (Revelation 1:1–20)

The Revelation of Jesus Christ points us to the reality that Jesus Christ rules and reigns in his church and, through the church, reigns in this world. This Revelation provides the local church with both reassurance and a Christ-centred motivation for repentance and reformation as church members. This is the goal as we study Revelation 2–3. But first things first as we unpack 1:1–20 under the following headings:

1. A Promised Reward (1:1–3)
2. A Powerful Reminder (1:4–8)
3. A Prophetic Revelation (1:9–20)
4. A Perpetual Relevance (Chapters 2–3)
