Revelation is the very last book of the Bible. It is full of amazing things that Jesus showed to His friend John.
Today's Story
A man named John loved Jesus very much. But some people did not like that John told everyone about Jesus, so they sent John far away to live alone on a little island in the sea.
One day, John heard a big voice behind him. It was loud, like a trumpet! John turned around to see who was talking.
And there was Jesus — alive! His face was shining bright, like the sun in the middle of the day. His eyes were warm and bright. His voice sounded like rushing water. John had never seen anything so beautiful and so strong.
John was so amazed that he fell right down at Jesus' feet. But Jesus reached out His kind hand and touched John. Jesus said, “Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last. I was dead, and now look — I am alive forever and ever!”
Jesus was telling John something wonderful. Jesus is alive. Jesus is the King. And Jesus is never, ever going away.
