1-8節--聖經最後一卷書

啟示錄 第1章

「啟示錄為聖經帶來一個何等榮耀的結束」。這是米徹爾先生(Fred Mitchell)在他研究啟示錄頭三章的專文中的一句評語。

這句評語實在很中肯。聖經由創世記開始，接著便記述人類的墮落，和人類犯罪、失敗的漫長歷史。歷史是否就這樣延續下去？不！福音書首先告訴我們，基督降世為人，為我們的罪受死。啟示錄則讓我們看見基督榮耀的得勝，以及神要進行的審判和帶來新天新地。這是使徒約翰從神領受而記下來的啟示。

啟示錄告訴我們，基督已坐在寶座之上。「寶座」通常是代表權柄和能力。如今，基督所說的話，不再是從十架發出，而是從祂的寶座發出。

在啟示錄的一開始，約翰便提到耶穌基督。當他一提到耶穌基督，就禁不住要發出頌讚，正如保羅一提到基督就發出頌讚一樣。留意約翰在第5至8節的話。

約翰的頌讚是以耶穌基督為中心。約翰首先指出「祂愛我們」──這個「愛」字所表達的，是祂由過去以致將來都一直愛我們的意思。即使祂的死，也不能終止祂的愛。祂今天仍然活著，祂做在我們身上的事，一切都是以愛為出發點。

基督洗去我們的罪，使我們脫離罪的權勢。祂已成就了救贖過程的全部工作。

但約翰並沒有在這裡停住，他繼續指出耶穌基督將要再來──本書的要旨，正是描述耶穌基督再來時，在天上地下所發生的一切事情。

這是一本偉大的書，讓我們一同帶著感恩的心去研讀它吧！

反思：

你是否盼望基督再來的日子？

THE LAST BOOK OF THE BIBLE
BIBLE READING: Revelation 1:1-8

What a glorious end to the Bible is the Book of Revelation. With these words Mr Fred Mitchell introduced his studies on the first three chapters in Revelation.

They are so true. The Bible starts with creation, then the sad story of the fall of man. This is followed by a long story of sin and failure. Is that story to go on forever? No! The Bible also tells us of the coming of Christ the first time to die for our sins. The Book of Revelation gives us a vision of the glorious triumph of Christ and tells us how God is going to bring it about. It is a revelation by God to John, who wrote it down for us.

Revelation shows us Christ on the throne. A throne always speaks of authority and power. Anything that Christ says now comes from his throne and not from his cross.

In this first section of chapter one, John starts to speak of Christ. As soon as he does, he bursts out into a doxology (hymn of praise) as Paul often did when he was writing about Christ. Notice what. John says in verses 5,6,7 and 8.

Johns praise is centred in Jesus Christ, To him who loved us and still does-the word loves means he goes on loving us and always will. Even his death did not end his love. He is alive now and all his dealings with us are in love.

Christ has washed us, or released us, from our sins. He has done everything that needed to be done.

But John doesnt stop there. He points forward to the second coming of Jesus Christ and that is what the book is all about-what will happen on earth and in heaven when Jesus comes.

Its a great book, so lets enjoy It together.

A QUESTION:

Are you looking forward to Christs coming?
