I. THE APOSTOLIC VISION.

II. THE APOSTOLIC PROCLAMATION.

III. THE WEEPING APOSTLE. This gives humanness and pathos to the scene. We too, like John, have shed tears as we wrestled to solve some dark, difficult problem in the government of our righteous but most merciful God.

IV. THE CONSOLING ELDER.

V. THE VICTORIOUS LION.

(James Nelson.)
