The Big Picture
The end is coming! The end of what? The world? Maybe. The end of our lessons—for sure. Only four more lessons to go. We have reached the end of the Bible, the book of Revelation. Revelation is sometimes called the Apocalypse, which is the Greek word for when something is made known, uncovered, or revealed. The book of Revelation reveals truths about Jesus, and it does so in a very interesting way. It does so through visions and images, signs and symbols. Maybe you’ll even recognize some of these images from the Old Testament (like plagues or gardens or snakes). The visions tell us about the past—like when Jesus died to redeem us. They tell us about the present—like how the church is suffering for believing in Jesus. And they tell us about the future—like how King Jesus will return to judge evildoers and save all who trust in him. Most of all, the visions reveal Jesus. And the mighty Jesus of Revelation begins the book by writing letters to seven churches. Sounds pretty important! Want to hear more?
