Who Was, Who Is, and Who Is to Come | Todd Arnett

Most of us either obsess over end-times timelines or avoid the book of Revelation entirely. But there is a third option: anticipation. Revelation 1 anchors our faith by showing us the risen King in His full, unfiltered glory—with eyes like fire and a face like the sun. Glimpsing the sheer scale of who Jesus is reminds us that the reigning King of all creation is holding the end of the story. That reality doesn't make us check out; it inspires us to live on mission today. Knowing how it all ends is what changes how we endure the struggles we face right now.
