In this message we explore the powerful vision of Jesus revealed in Revelation 1:9–20. We reflect on how easy it is to go through life half-awake, missing the deeper reality of who Jesus truly is. Through John’s encounter on the island of Patmos, we see Jesus not as a distant figure or a gentle teacher, but as the glorious, sovereign King—radiant, overwhelming, and awe-inspiring. This vision challenges us to move beyond a casual or routine approach to faith, reminding us that Jesus is not someone to be taken lightly or compartmentalised, but the One who holds all things together and deserves our deepest reverence.

In this message we also find comfort in the fact that, even in His glory, Jesus reaches out to us with love and reassurance. He tells us not to be afraid, reminding us that He has conquered death and holds the keys to life. We are encouraged to wake up to the reality that Jesus is present among His people, not just in extraordinary moments, but in the everyday life of the church. Our prayer is that we would truly see Jesus as He is—glorious, present, and worthy of all our worship.
