Revelation 1:1-11

Chris Breslin

“The imagination is our way into the divine Imagination, permitting us to see wholly- as a whole and holy- what we perceive as scattered, as order what we perceive as random.” -Wendell Berry

“Apocalypse is shorthand for Jesus Christ.” -Douglas Harink

“Jesus is a perfect photo of the Unseen God…The result is that he’s tops any way you look at it.” – Cotton Patch Gospel paraphrase of Colossians 1

“If we learn no more from a Gospel or a sermon on the Gospel than to know our Lord Jesus Christ better, to be prouder of him, and to love him more, we learn enough and we learn a precious lesson. He is the king to whom we are to be loyal and he is the general we are to obey. The people that say to themselves as they walk: Christ is my king, Christ is my hero, I am at Christ’s orders, I am his to command – those people are children of light.” -Gerard Manley Hopkins

Scripture:

Ephesians 3:14-21
