Our sermon series on beginnings and endings made the jump from Genesis to Revelation. Deb introduced this strange, difficult, and fascinating work of prophecy for us. Here is part of her overview:

John begins the account of his revelation by ensuring that we know who God is, who Jesus is, and who we are. Having this wide perspective, like a view from an airplane, will help the believers understand the message he is bringing from the Lord. It helps us remember how we fit into the grand scheme of God’s creation. While Jesus makes God tangible to us, and accessible at a human scale, we should not forget that his nature is so much bigger than anything our minds can hold. Our God is a transcendent God.
