Jesus Christ—the Beginning and the Ending of Human History - Revelation 1:1-8

This sermon focuses on Revelation 1:1-8, highlighting the centrality of Jesus Christ in human history. It is broken down into three main points.

God Accurately Predicts the Future Because He is in Control of History (vv. 1-2, 7-8): The Book of Revelation is described as an unveiling of Jesus Christ, given to us through an angel sent to John. It underscores God's sovereignty and His control over history, emphasizing that God, being eternal, can accurately predict future events.

God Blesses those Who Take What He Says Seriously (v. 3): This point stresses the importance of living in anticipation of Christ's return, following the prophecies and teachings outlined in Revelation. It cites Matthew 25:1-13 as a further encouragement to live prepared for the Second Coming.

God Has Determined that Jesus Christ will Reign Over the Earth (vv. 4-6): The outline underscores that Jesus, who made our redemption possible, is also the one who will reign over the earth. His return will bring joy to believers but will be a day of reckoning for non-believers.
