NEW TESTAMENT — CLOSING BIG PICTURE
From Romans through Revelation, the New Testament letters and final apocalypse show what the death and resurrection of Jesus mean for believing communities. The Gospel creates a justified people, a holy people, a united people, a serving people, a suffering yet hopeful people, and a witnessing people. These books repeatedly call the church to hold fast to Christ, live by the Spirit, love one another, guard the truth, care for the vulnerable, endure suffering, reject idolatry, and look toward the day when God's purposes are fully revealed in the victory of the Lamb.
The Gospel saves by grace through faith.
The cross reshapes power, pride, money, sexuality, leadership, and relationships.
The Holy Spirit produces new life and equips the church.
Sound doctrine should produce holy character and practical love.
Suffering does not mean Christ has lost control.
The church is called to endure, serve, witness, and hope.
Jesus is the faithful High Priest, risen Lord, returning King, and victorious Lamb.
God will make all things new.
THE LAMB WINS. HOLD FAST TO JESUS.
"The revelation of Jesus Christ" (1:1) was probably written by the apostle John while in exile on the island of Patmos, off the coast of present-day Turkey.
It was addressed to seven actual churches.
Revelation begins with letters from Christ himself to these churches, letters that include commendation, criticism, and comfort.
Then comes a long series of visions of judgment on the wicked, all in highly symbolic language.
The church is depicted under great distress, but is assured of the final triumph of Jesus as "King of kings and Lord of lords" (19:16), bringing to an end the rebellion of humanity and ushering in "a new heaven and a new earth" (21:1), where God himself will reign forever and ever (11:15).
Revelation was probably written a.d. 95-96.
