Our work is a success if others using the methods we have shared become even more successful than us. Our work is a success if we see men and women respond to the claims of Christ and commit their lives to follow Him. We want the success to be ongoing, forever, until Jesus comes. I've recently restudied all the book of Revelation, restudied the messages, and my heart has been thrilled again at the profound message of hope I find there. It will cover all the major themes of Revelation with a Christ-centered approach.
Revelation is in contrast to that.
I've come to the conclusion that Revelation is the most hopeful book of the Bible. It's not focusing predominantly on beasts and cataclysms. It's still not too late for churches who want a fresh, contemporary, Christ-centered approach to Revelation to get actively involved in the series. They may be surprised at what God will do. When we look at events in the world, we could despair.
