Pastor Chuck Smith Excerpts from The Book of Revelation Jesus' Mission: Redeem the World back to God

Note: this is an excerpt from Revelation 5; in the full lesson Pastor Chuck Smith offers an enlightening interpretation of Revelation chapter 5. The sermon initiates with an introduction to John's vision of the heavenly throne and the worship surrounding it. Pastor Smith explains the significance of the scroll in God's hand, depicted as the title deed to earth. The inability of anyone apart from Jesus to open the scroll leads to John's distress. Pastor Smith asserts that this reflects the notion of earth initially being God's, then forfeited to Satan through Adam and Eve's disobedience. However, Jesus was able to reclaim control through his sacrificial death and defeat of Satan, even though he hasn't yet seized the earth from Satan's grip.Pastor Smith continues to explore the extent of Satan's authority and his unquenchable desire to be worshipped. He highlights that while Satan still holds sway over earth, he will eventually delegate his authority to the Antichrist. However, Pastor Smith brings the narrative back to Jesus's crucial role in salvation. Revealing how Jesus's redemptive actions through his death allows us to forge a personal connection with God and escape eternal damnation. The sermon delves into future biblical prophecies detailed in Revelation, involving the second coming of Jesus and his establishment of God's earthly kingdom. Towards the conclusion, Pastor Smith implores the congregation to accept Jesus as their savior before impending judgment arrives. He underscores this by citing biblical scriptures that predict every being will eventually recognize Jesus as Lord, encouraging his audience to declare their faith promptly. Overall, the sermon is a profound exploration of Revelation, emphasizing Jesus's qualifications to redeem humanity, the necessity of personal salvation, and the ongoing struggle between God's heavenly power and Satan's worldly authority. The discourse serves as a reminder and examination of our relationship with God.
