And we're doing it all together!

Revelation 7 offers one of the most hope-filled visions in all of Scripture, a glimpse into heaven itself that was given to people who were suffering and tempted to give up. John wrote from exile on the island of Patmos, addressing churches that were facing brutal persecution under the Roman Empire. In the midst of that darkness, he saw a great multitude from every nation, tribe, and language gathered around the throne of God, sheltered by His presence, led by the Lamb to springs of living water. Those who have gone before us in faith are not lost or far away. They are around the throne, worshiping the same Lord we worship. This vision is not only for first-century believers. It is for anyone who has grieved a loss, endured suffering, or wondered whether faithfulness to God is worth the cost. The Lamb is at the center of the throne, shepherding His people, and one day every tear will be wiped away.
