#soap # Revelation 01 ## Title: Seeing Jesus Clearly ## Scripture: (Revelation 1:1) “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show his servants what must happen very soon. He made it clear by sending his angel to his servant John,” (NET) ## Observation: This is the point of Revelation. So many become mesmerized by all the analogies that they miss why Jesus gave this vision to John. The point of Revelation was to see Jesus and His ways more clearly. Throughout the Revelation of Jesus, there are two scenes happening simultaneously. There are things happening on Earth, and there are things happening in Heaven. In both, Jesus reigns supreme. To the persecuted early church, the message is clear. They are being reminded that Jesus has already won and is already reigning in Heaven. This is true of today, too. No matter what we are experiencing on this Earth, Jesus still reigns supreme. ## Application: Think about how Jesus is not waiting to reign. He is reigning now. This means your King is already in the place of authority. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for having all authority and using it to set us free every day.
