Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study, Christ and all of Scripture.

That's super helpful. And you know, we've spent some time talking about the context of Genesis

12, but not that much about the context of Revelation 5. So could you maybe say a little bit more

about the context of this passage from Revelation? Yeah, I think that that's really important.

Revelation is the record
