Revelation 1-22
Are you good with directions? Is your mind like a compass? Do you like to read maps? I have an embarrassing confession to make. I'm directionally impaired. My mind doesn't think like a compass. I have no real north, south, east, and west bearings. In fact, I struggle to accurately read a map. Without a navigator, I would be continually lost.

It's a revelation that can and should be understood! The stated purpose of Revelation is to reveal Jesus Christ (1:1): His person, His power, and His plan for the future. The first truth that we must grasp is that Revelation is all about Jesus. He's the leading character, the director, and the producer. When the credits are rolled, Jesus is the focus. When the biblical Oscar awards are given out, He's on center stage. If we fail to remember this, ...
