Friday Thought -- November 1, 2013

Good Morning Friends,

Jesus is worthy!

Jesus is worthy to open the scroll that unveils the final triumph of God over evil. No one else is worthy to do that!

“Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep!  See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed.  He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.’” (Revelation 5:5)

When Jesus accepted the scroll from God heaven broke out in praise.

The 24 elders and the 4 creatures worshipped with a new song to declare His worthiness.

“And when he had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song: ‘You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.’” (Revelation 5:8-10)

Then the angels, a choir that is beyond being numbered, took up the theme and sang.

“Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!’” (Revelation 5:11-12)

And the circle of praise grew larger still as every creature in heaven, on earth, under the earth, on the sea, every creature lifted its voice in praise.

“Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing: ‘To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever!’” (Revelation 5:13)

Animals, men, angels, even creatures that can’t be described will give praise to the Lamb, to Jesus, our Savior. He is the One who is worthy!

His, by Grace,


Steve
