Session 2: Jesus, the Church, and the Throne

Jesus is not distant—He’s present with His people and reigning over all.

In this powerful session, we move from wondering how to read Revelation to seeing who Revelation is really about: Jesus—glorious, present, and enthroned. The vision opens with Jesus walking among His churches and leads us into the heavenly throne room, where all creation worships Him as the worthy Lamb.

These chapters remind us that Jesus sees our struggles, speaks into our lives, and calls us to courageous faithfulness. At the same time, they lift our eyes from earthly fear to a heavenly perspective—where worship, not worry, defines the atmosphere.

You’ll come away with a deeper sense of Jesus' presence in the Church today and His unrivaled power in the universe. He’s not waiting far off—He’s walking with us now, and He reigns forever.

Key Scriptures:
📖 Revelation 1:9–20 — Jesus among the lampstands
📖 Revelation 2–3 — Letters to the seven churches
📖 Revelation 4–5 — The throne room and the worthy Lamb

Remember:

  • Jesus is not absent—He’s walking among His churches.

  • Heaven isn’t panicking. Heaven is worshiping.

  • The Lamb who was slain is the only one worthy to rule.
