Sermon Notes
Comfort in the Greatness of Jesus ~ Revelation 1
We find blessing in reading and obeying what God has said in this book (1:1-3)
We should take comfort and joy in who God is and who he is making us through Jesus (1:4-10)
- Who God is…
- The Eternal One, the Beginning and the End
- The source of grace and peace
- The Almighty King of kings
- The sacrificed Savior of the world
- The resurrected Witness of the Father
- The One who conquered death and now holds the keys
- The One who dwells among his churches
- The One who will return in glory
- Who God has made you through Jesus…
- His loved ones
- Those freed from sin
- A kingdom of priests
- Therefore…
- Rest in God’s grace, enjoying peace with him as his beloved children
- Serve in your priesthood by doing good to, praying for, and sharing the gospel with others that they might rejoice with us
- Endure patiently through trials knowing they are temporary and the best is yet to come
- Don’t fear death or any enemy because the sovereign, resurrected King dwells with us
