Revelation 5:1-14.
Revelation 5.1-14
The Scroll and the Lamb
In the right hand of the one sitting on the throne I saw a scroll that
had writing on the inside and on the outside. And it was sealed in
seven places. I saw a mighty angel ask with a loud voice, "Who is
worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?" No one in heaven or
on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or see inside
it.
I cried hard because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or see
inside it. Then one of the elders said to me, "Stop crying and look!
The one who is called both the 'Lion from the Tribe of Judah' and
'King David's Great Descendant' has won the victory. He will open the
book and its seven seals."
Then I looked and saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne that
was surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb
looked as if it had once been killed. It had seven horns and seven
eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent out to all the earth.
The Lamb went over and took the scroll from the right hand of the one
who sat on the throne. After he had taken it, the four living
creatures and the twenty-four elders knelt down before him. Each of
them had a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, which are the prayers
of God's people. Then they sang a new song, "You are worthy to
receive the scroll and open its seals, because you were killed. And
with your own blood you bought for God people from every tribe,
language, nation, and race. You let them become kings and serve God as
priests, and they will rule on earth."
As I looked, I heard the voices of a lot of angels around the throne
and the voices of the living creatures and of the elders. There were
millions and millions of them, and they were saying in a loud voice,
"The Lamb who was killed is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom,
strength, honor, glory, and praise."
Then I heard all beings in heaven and on the earth and under the earth
and in the sea offer praise. Together, all of them were saying,
"Praise, honor, glory, and strength forever and ever to the one who
sits on the throne and to the Lamb!"
The four living creatures said "Amen," while the elders knelt down and
worshiped."
Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
God bless you.
