Revelation can be intimidating to read for many Christians. John uses pictures to speak, and it can be challenging to understand. It may elicit fear of things to come. But as we read, we should pray, asking for the Spirit's help in understanding what Jesus is revealing to his church–namely, that God reigns! A better understanding will help us endure, trust, worship, and evangelize with greater zeal and faithfulness. Devotionables #569 - God Reigns! Revelation 1:1-3 F260
