Small Group Discussion

Read Revelation 1:1-8

  1. Why do you think many people avoid Revelation (reading it, studying it)? How does Rev 1:3 speak to that?

  2. The Bible is clear we are saved by grace, not works (e.g., Ephesians 2:8-10). So what place does “keep(ing) what is written” have in the life of a Christ follower

  3. Why do you think John starts this writing as he has? Why do you think he gave a recap of the ministry of Jesus (Rev 1:5-6)?
