The Book of Revelation
During May and April, the 8.00 and 11.00 congregations will return to our study of the Book of Revelation. Revelation is often seen as rather off putting, mainly because of its violent and lurid imagery. In reality, it is one of the most relevant books of the Bible because of its sustained focus upon why so much evil still exists in the world if God really has won the victory over it through the death of Jesus. This is one of the most perplexing issues that many Christians face, particularly as we get older. Why does the world seem to be getting worse rather than better? Why does God seem to be allowing evil to have such power? Revelation deals with these questions head on and its pastoral power lies in the way that it shows how the suffering that Christians are called to endure is all part of the implementing the victory of Christ.
