The battle is not ours to win; it's already been won. The Lion of Judah has conquered!

Summary

The sermon's main theme is that all of Revelation's promises are grounded in God's ultimate plan to bring about new creation, involving judgment, redemption, and restoration. It references scripture from Revelation 1-5, highlighting the imagery of the Lion of Judah who alone is worthy to open the scroll and bring about God's ultimate purposes. The practical takeaway is that despite the overwhelming brokenness of the world, we are encouraged not to weep due to despair, but to trust in the conquering power of Jesus Christ who will bring all things to their rightful conclusion.
