For the past few weeks the Bible Study group has been studying the Book of Revelation. This was chosen for study because no-one in the group had studied in before. The consensus seemed to be that Revelation was a little weird and best left alone and very few people in the group had even read the book.
We decided that we should really give it a try and we are very pleased to have done so!
To help us in our study we are using a book written about 50 years ago by William Hendriksen, "More than Conquerors" and it has been very illuminating.
Revelation is not only beautifully written and constructed, but it is a very great comfort for persecuted and suffering Christians of every age. It is a source of immense hope as we think of the second coming, our hearts filled with joy and with a longing that the Son of man may suddenly descend inall his glory. And we realise that the Son of Man is already with us in the Spirit "And he laid his right hand uponme, saying Fear not; I am the first and the last, and the living one; and I was dead, and behold I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys to Death and Hades."
We are certainly "more than conquerors" through him that loved us!
