In the name of the God of all Creation,
The God alive in each of us as God was alive in Jesus,
And the power of God known in the Spirit.
Amen.
During this Easter season our second lesson each week has been reading from the Book of the Revelation to John. It is the last book of the Bible, and is often misunderstood. It is what is known as apocalyptic literature and comes from a Greek word that means “disclosure,” or “unveiling,” or “revelation.” Apocalyptic literature in both the Old and New Testaments frequently reflects a negative view of this world and expresses the hope for salvation in a new creation or in another life. Its purpose was to comfort and encourage the faithful in difficult times. 5 Easter
