What we see guides how we live. Seeing heavenly glory and majesty is then at the center of living out a heavenly life in this world that is passing away. This Sunday, we will explore Revelation 1:9-2:7 to witness the heavenly glory and majesty fully revealed in the risen Lord Jesus Christ. We will see the glory of our Lord, who has brought the final Exodus, the sure Hope, and the fullness of life to be lived in Him.
Spiritual blindness is the ultimate blindness, keeping us from seeing this glory. In contrast, spiritual awakening and the opening of our eyes bring us to the ultimate glory and joy. That is what marks the final exodus in Christ: it is a miracle that opened our eyes, it is grace that brings us to that glory and it is power for a new conquering life. As Revelation 2:7 says, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” So let us come together and listen to what the Spirit says to us as we open and study Revelation 1:9-2:7.

Blessings,
