Revelation 10-11:14 | Sweet. Sour. Sent.
Here’s a strange one. In Revelation 10, an angel hands John a small scroll and tells him to eat it. Not read it. Eat it. It tastes like honey, and then it turns his stomach sour. Why would God feed John something he knew would make him sick? And then send him out to speak to the whole world? In Blessed this Sunday, here’s where we’re landing: Jesus is worth what it costs to tell what he’s done. Read these chapters this week and look for how the text gets there. (Hint: compare the end of chapter 9 with 11:13. Something finally changes. What made the difference?)
