Revelation 1 - Comfort in Tribulation: A Vision of Christ

Revelation 1:9-20: Comfort in Tribulation: The Vision of the Glorious Christ
www.jameslongjr.com

The church in John’s time was facing severe persecution. Almost everyone in the Christian faith was under some type of persecution either socially, politically, or economically. Some were being killed for their faith. John was exiled to the island of Patmos because he continued to preach the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

He is writing this letter to encourage those facing persecution to stand firm in their faith, to have courage amid the trial, and to exalt the person and work of Christ. The Lord Jesus comes to John to give him a revelation of Himself that will bolster John during his own persecutions.

Jesus is the sovereign one. He is speaking through the apostle John to encourage the churches to remember His deep love and compassion for them. The Lord Jesus Christ also encourages the Christian church to continue to live holy in an ungodly world.

In this message from Revelation 1:9–20, listen as James speaks about the comfort we can have in our trials by getting a vision of the risen and glorified Christ.
