A Vision of Jesus

"John's first vision was not of events, but of Jesus Christ himself. A knowledge of coming events will only stimulate our curiosity. Even John the beloved disciple must first have a sight of his eternal Lord that shattered him o the dust. Only such a sight creates warriors. Not till we see him thus are we equipped for conflict. For Christ is the answer to all our questions. Get clear first about him, and we shall know about 'things to come.' He is the risen and victorious King of Kings. All the ensuing events are the outcome of his being that." - Watchman Nee
