In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Revelations 5:12
The message of Revelation is the big picture. God is in control, the final score: Love (aka, Jesus) for the win.
In John’s vision He sees a scroll that holds the destiny of earth and all that is in it. Yet, John does not see anyone who can open the document and see eternity. He sees himself desperate for the redeemer of those whose hope in the LORD, the One who sets them free. Then he sees the LORD among the prayers and praises of His people, and the angels are singing His glorious worth!
Who is worthy to hold and open the fate of all humanity…….everyone that EVER existed?! Only the One who was sinless, the Perfect, Spotless, Lamb of God, the sacrifice for every man’s eternal hope, the very definition of LOVE.
Eternity is a reality, it’s inevitable. The only option is your choice of residence. That scroll is my fate and yours too. I chose to join He who’s love brings life and I’m inviting you too.
Love,
