Setting the Stage

We all wonder about the future… What will tomorrow bring? Next week, month, year? The next 100 years (or 1,000)? While there's much we can't know, Jesus loves His church dearly and wants her to know what "must soon take place," sharing words of both support and challenge for her in the opening pages of "the revelation of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 1:1). This unveiling is both *from* Jesus (so we know it's true) and *about* Him (so we know it's significant). What it reveals is that Jesus is the King above all kings and the Lord above all lords! And that even still today He longs to invite people into relationship with Him – to be part of His bride (the church), to be washed and made pure through His love and holiness, and to rule and reign with Him. Coming soon – the victory of Jesus Christ!
