On this Second Sunday after Easter, Pastor Evan shares his final message before beginning a 3-month sabbatical, focusing on Revelation 1:4–8 and the bold identity of Jesus Christ. He reminds us that Revelation is not about fear or confusion, but an “apocalypse”—a revealing—of Jesus as the present and reigning King. Under pressure, whether in the early church or today, followers of Jesus are invited to resist compromise and stay rooted in truth. At the heart of this teaching is this core truth: “Things are more than they seem,” and Jesus—who is coming, who is near, and who loves us—is worth our loyalty and worship.
