The Little Scroll Has a Majestic Message
Manage episode 364958689 series 2094168
Rev. Jeremiah Johnson, pastor at Glory of Christ Lutheran Church in Plymouth, MN, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Revelation 10:1-13.
In the midst of the sixth trumpet, John sees another mighty angel who bears many similarities to Christ Himself. This mighty angel holds a little scroll that is open while standing astride the sea and the land, showing us the majesty of the Gospel. Although John desires to write down the message of the seven thunders, a voice from heaven forbids it. Instead, John is given to eat the little scroll from the hand of the mighty angel. The taste is sweet in his mouth but makes his stomach bitter. This is a reminder that God’s Word is necessary and effective in both Law and Gospel. Though the message may seem small in the eyes of the world, truly it is a glorious Word that God has given to His people.
“Come Lord Jesus!” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the Revelation given to St. John. Although some look at Revelation with fear, it is a book of supreme hope in our crucified, risen, and ascended Lord. The book of Revelation gives a heavenly perspective on our earthly circumstances so that the Church in every generation is challenged, comforted, and assured of final victory through Jesus Christ.
