Revelation Part 1: Macro-Jesus and the Micro-Epistles

Your Pod and Your Staff

Here’s a question: if you were stranded on a desert island, and you were told you can only have ONE book of the Bible during your time there – what would you choose?

There’s a lot of great choices. You wouldn’t go wrong with a Gospel, maybe Genesis or Exodus, maybe even Psalms if you’re one of those kinds of people.

But I’m assuming very few of us would choose REVELATION (Or RevelationS as Peter used to think). But Darrell Johnson, who is coming to speak on Revelation on March 9th, says this is PRECISELY the book he’d choose.

Why?

“Because no other book shows us Jesus more clearly and compellingly than the last book of the Bible. No other book helps us see him in a way that overcomes our fears and frees us for radical faith”.

This might sound like a preposterous claim. But take a listen to this episode. We'll encounter 7 Micro-Epistles as told by a very Macro-Jesus. Have Revelation 2-3 open if you’re able, and we think you’ll start to see as compelling a picture of Jesus as there is in the Scriptures.

Let’s dive in together. Enjoy the podcast.
