Nancy Guthrie wants you and me to study the book of Revelation. She writes:
Let’s be honest: Revelation can be an intimidating book. Because of that, some of us have avoided Revelation, deeming it to be too difficult to interpret and understand, too controversial, or too scary. Perhaps we’ve ignored it because we have assumed the book is only about the future, with nothing “practical” for us today.
The truth is, while the apocalyptic prophecy of Revelation presents some challenges to us as modern readers, it also provides gifts of insight and understanding to those who are willing to engage with it. Revelation is a letter written to gird us for faithful allegiance to Christ as we wait for his return. And that is encouragement we all need!
The she proceeds to offer 7 reasons this book is worth studying.
- Revelation is a message from God sent to us.
- Revelation opens our eyes to see the risen and glorified Christ.
- Revelation provides a picture of Jesus’s presence with us.
- Revelation enables us to see this world from heaven’s perspective.
- Revelation assures us that God will deal with the evil in this world.
- Revelation shows us what our eternal future will be like.
- Revelation promises blessedness.
I encourage you to consider what she has to say. Check it out!
