Behind the Nativity
Revelation 12:1-12
David Brink | Associate Pastor
During the Advent season we remember the birth of our Lord. In this passage the Apostle John sees a vision that forces us to think beyond just the Nativity scene itself. We see that there is a cosmic battle that has been raging since the garden and the birth of Christ is not just a story but it is the event kicks off the crushing of the head of the dragon the serpent of old.

scripture

Revelation 12:1-12

outline

  • The events leading to Jesus’ birth.
  • The event of Jesus’ birth.
  • The events following Jesus’ birth.

Reflection Questions

  1. How does thinking about Jesus’ birth in the way John portrays encourage us to persevere in the faith?
  2. How would this have been particularly encouraging to the churches receiving this Revelation?
