About the Author
This week, we begin a new series titled "Letters to the Church", where we are looking at the seven letters in the book of Revelation and the message they have for the church back then, the church of today, and our own church.
This week, we are reminded that there is an author of these letters, Jesus Christ. Although we have our own idea of Jesus shaped by personal experience or stories of His ministry, John describes Jesus to give us a glimpse of His full glory. Although John fell to the ground in front of Jesus, He was still personal and intimate to remind John to not be afraid. Jesus is both the authority that grounds the message to the church and inspires courage and hope.
