The Lord’s Work in His Church Revelation 1:9–20
We’re going to begin tonight to take a look at the opening three chapters of the book of Revelation. I think it’s obvious to us that these are distressing times in which we live. They are frightening times to some people. They are different than maybe what past generations have known in our country. It’s an important time for us to take a hard look at the church: “What is the church going to be?”
Really, for the first time in the history of our country, we are an alien assembly in a hostile land. That’s new for us. But that’s the world the church was originally born into. As John begins this wonderful book of Revelation, he does so with a recognition of that. In verse 9, he introduces himself not as the apostle John, not as a disciple of Christ, but he introduces himself as your brother and fellow partaker in the trouble, in the trouble.
