Perseverance

Revelation 7.9-17

This is a vision by John who sees people from around the world worshipping God. It has rich imagery of angels, a magnificent throne and fantastical animals. Jesus is referred to as the Lamb and at the end of the passage also as the ‘shepherd’ who protects, guides and feeds us.

As we seek to live out the message and implications of Easter, we are reminded of the endurance we need to live in the light of the kingdom, facing life’s struggles in the company and comfort of the good shepherd, who is also the crucified and risen Christ.

This week we explore how Jesus guides us through life’s ups and downs.
