When someone expresses interest in reading the Bible for the first time, we know to point them in a certain direction. Most people would recommend the book of John, some would suggest any of the Gospels, others might point the person to Genesis: the very beginning. While all of the Bible is important, some books are just a little more difficult to digest than others. One of those trickier books is the book of Revelation. Talking about the end of the world is not a light subject. In fact, it’s hard to read Revelation without noticing the strong message of judgment throughout. The book of Revelation begins with very specific messages written to very specific groups of people who were alive when this book was originally written. Within the message, we learn about certain characteristics of the people in these churches. Some were doing okay, some were not, just like the students in your group. Regardless of where the groups fell (or where your students fall), it’s important to remember the clear message: there are consequences to our actions and how we live. We are responsible for our choices.
