Describe the image of Jesus that John sees in verse 12-16. What stands out to you? What do we learn about the nature and authority of Jesus?

When John sees this vision, he falls at the feet of Jesus. Why do you think that he reacts this way? How does Jesus respond?

What’s Next

What are some ways that we can help “move the culture” towards Jesus? How can we help to affect change?

Because of what Jesus did on the cross, we believe that “war has already been won.” How does that knowledge affect the way you live your life?
