“I, John, both your brother and companion
in the tribulation and kingdom and
patience of
Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called
Patmos for the word of God and for
the testimony of Jesus Christ.”
-REVELATION 1:9
Since
John is an Overcomer, God sends out the call for Overcomers through
John. John is symbolic of all Overcomers, and he is the instrument
through which God raises up Overcomers.
I
can relate to John. I know many of us feel as if we are alone, in
exile, in a wilderness. Gradually we feel we are being shut up and shut
out by others who have not seen what we have seen. It is right THERE, in
the desert place, in the place of exile, in the place of banishment, in
the place of dryness, in the place of darkness, that Christ is revealed
to us. This ought to encourage us no matter
what our situation.
