In the opening sermon in the Revelation series, we first looked at the foundations for understanding the book of Revelation. We discovered that it is essential for Christians to study, think about and discuss the end times. When we give our attention to the end times without losing sight of the responsibilities of today, we discover more deeply the beauty and majesty of God’s character and complexity of His ways, and join the rest of creation in increasing our longing to see Jesus return and make all things new.
