When they disobeyed, He promised a Redeemer.</p>\n<p>The entire Old Testament talks about this future Redeemer,\nthe importance of salvation by faith, and how the sacrificial system was a picture of what was coming. The prophets continually reminded the people that the Redeemer, the Messiah was coming. </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>And the New Testament records the life, death, and resurrection of the Messiah, Jesus and the creation of the church He left to\nrepresent Him.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Jesus, reminding ourselves that the book of Revelation is not a puzzle to be solved but as the first words in the book remind us, it is a REVELATION of Jesus Christ.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>In this lesson, after introductory comments on Revelation,\nwe\u2019ll look more closely at a revelation of Jesus, we\u2019ll take an in-depth look at the \u201cI Ams\u201d of Jesus in the book of John. </p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>We\u2019ll end with a reminder that though this is the end of our\nreading in the Bible, it is only the beginning of \u201cthe great story, which has no end and in which every chapter is better than the one before (C.S. Lewis).\u201d</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Link to blog, notes, and videos: <a href=\"https://wp.me/pazrJD-10M\">https://wp.me/pazrJD-10M</a></p>\n<p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n</p>\n","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/3297634e-865c-401e-a8d7-e574aab64051/1120046-1704490223578-a550b848bf316.jpg"}
