Unveiling the Masterpiece
"The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his servants the things that must soon take place." – Revelation 1:1
The word Revelation comes from the Greek word Apokalypsis, which means “the removal of a veil so that something can be seen.” Imagine an artist standing before a captivated crowd, lifting the veil off a masterpiece for the very first time. That unveiling reveals the beauty, intricacy, and intention of the work for all to see. This is what Jesus does in the book of Revelation. He isn’t hiding something from us; He’s revealing His glory, His plan, and His purpose.
Revelation often carries a reputation for being confusing or mysterious, but God didn’t intend for it to be that way. The very name of the book tells us otherwise. It’s not meant to obscure but to reveal. Through its pages, Jesus lifts the veil and shows us what will happen when the end times come. He gives us a glimpse of His majesty, His authority, and His ultimate victory over sin and death.
Think about that for a moment: God could have chosen to keep these things hidden, but instead, He chose to share them with us. Why? Because He wants you to be prepared, to understand His plan, and to live with hope and urgency. He isn’t trying to confuse you. He’s inviting you to see the masterpiece of His redemption and sovereignty.
As you read Revelation, don’t shy away from the imagery or the weight of what’s revealed. Let it deepen your awe for who Jesus is and what He has done. This book is a reminder that God isn’t distant or disconnected, He is actively working to bring His perfect plan to completion. And He wants you to be a part of it.
Revelation is the unveiling of Jesus’ beauty, power, and deity. It’s not a book of hidden mysteries but an open invitation to understand what’s to come and to respond in faith. God didn’t leave you in the dark. He pulled back the veil so you could see clearly. Will you look?
