An Introduction to Revelation, Part 3 (Rev. 1:1-3)

Summary

This sermon explores the opening verses of the Book of Revelation, emphasizing the certainty and imminence of Jesus Christ's return. The preacher explains that the phrases "shortly come to pass" and "the time is at hand" indicate an attitude of readiness and anticipation rather than immediate fulfillment. He encourages believers to live godly lives, patiently awaiting the Lord's coming, and to be doers of the Word, not just hearers. The message highlights the pastoral burden to see spiritual growth and faithfulness among the congregation.
