Revelation 1:4-8 is the text for this sermon entitled, "Jesus the Almighty".
This lesson helps us to understand the Almighty power of Jesus and how it becomes the basis of our own faithfulness.
John is identified as the author of the book, and he gives us the detail that he is banished on the Isle of Patmos for his belief and teachings about Jesus (persecuted). He also identifies himself as a servant of the Lord. Jesus tells him that He cares about the seven churches and will use a 9-part structure to pronounce an assessment of these churches. Jesus, as the message giver, demonstrates his love for the churches, His forgiveness for their mistakes as He rescues them from Satan. That rescue means every saved Christian becomes a part of the Kingdom.
John ends his prologue with a doxology praising Jesus Christ, our redeemer, as the Alpha and Omega, eternal God.
