Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer - Written by Rana Das for December 28, 2024: Revelation 5-9 "Have you seen the Lamb?"

SCRIPTURE:

Revelation (NIV) 5:1 Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll…
2 And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?"
3 But no-one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it.
4 I wept and wept…
5 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."
6 Then I saw a Lamb…
9 And they sang a new song [to the Lamb] : "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.

OBSERVATION: THE QUESTION: Who is worthy to break the seals?
THE ANSWER: No one in heaven or earth!
I AM PUZZLED: Why cannot the one sitting on the throne who is holding the scroll open its seals? Surely He is worthy! No, not even He!
THE RESPONSE: Great sorrow
THE COMFORT: There is one, the Lamb!
THE SECOND QUESTION: Why is He worthy?
THE ANSWER: Jesus is the only one who was born without sin; who was tempted in every way as all men, yet who never committed any sin, still He was killed as though He had sinned; now His innocent blood is sufficient payment for sins of those who receive Him as their Savior and Lord!
APPLICATION: Have you put your trust in the Lord and asked His forgiveness for your sins? He will forgive you and cleanse you from all unrighteousness!
PRAYER: Holy Spirit, Make these truths come alive in my life. Lord, as you promised in 1John 1:9, forgive and cleanse me. May your presence be my assurance that all is right between us. Amen
