Revelation L3 "Exiled and in the Spirit"
Revelation 1:9-11 is the text for this sermon entitled, "Exiled and in the Spirit."
In today’s lesson, we will look at the emphasis on John, the writer of the book. We learn from our biblical text at least four significant things about John that help set the stage for our entering into his world of prophetic visions.
1. He was exiled.
2. He was "in the spirit" on the Lord's Day.
3. He was to take actions: See, hear, write, send the experience.
4. He lived in a time where Rome opposed Christianity.
May God grant us the wisdom, courage, and steadfastness of faith to let His divine power give us what we need to live a life of blessedness in the face of opposition and challenges.
