The Revelation of Christ's Sacrificial Love

In this episode, John explores the imagery and symbolism in the book of Revelation, challenging the assumption that the Roman Emperor, specifically Domitian, is in control of history. John presents a vivid image of someone sitting on a throne, initially assumed to be God, but later reveals that sacrificial love is the real power at the center of the universe. The scene includes four living creatures representing all of creation and 24 elders, drawing from Roman Emperor worship practices. Through the apocalyptic imagery, John reassures listeners that God alone is worthy of worship because of his sacrificial love, and he challenges the belief that material wealth or worldly power equate to spiritual health or control over destiny. The episode encourages a shift in perspective, emphasizing that love changes everything and makes all things new.
