Worthy is the Lamb & The Opening of the 6 Seals

Live With the End in Mind

Revelation lifts our eyes toward eternity. It teaches us to live, speak, and think with the end in mind. Romans 12:2 calls us to resist the patterns of the world and to be transformed by the renewing of our minds. Let Scripture form your thinking, not the world.

The Scroll in the Father’s Hand

John sees a scroll in the right hand of God sealed with seven seals. A mighty angel asks who is worthy to open it. No one is found worthy until the Lamb appears. The scroll represents God’s redemptive plan and His righteous judgments. God gives light for the next step so that we learn trust and dependence. There is no plan B. He rules history and holds your future.

The Lion Who Is the Lamb

An elder proclaims the Lion of the tribe of Judah. John turns and sees a Lamb who was slain. Jesus conquers through sacrifice. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals that Jesus alone is worthy because His blood ransomed a people for God. The cross is the key to God’s redemption. Christ’s atonement gives Him authority to unfold history.

Our Response: Worship

When the Lamb takes the scroll, heaven erupts in a new song. Worship is our right response. It is more than singing. It is offering our whole lives. Work as worship. Serve as worship. Let your daily obedience be praise to Christ. This worship is personal and global, from every tribe and language and people and nation.

The Seals and God’s Judgment

In Revelation 6 the Lamb opens the seals. The first four reveal conquest, war, famine, and death. Even in turmoil Christ remains in control. Suffering exposes our need for salvation. It turns our hearts from self to the Savior. Without Christ there is pain without purpose. With Christ there is hope that outlasts every trial.

John then sees the souls of martyrs crying out for justice. Their perseverance reminds us that faith may be costly, yet victory is already won in Christ.

The Sixth Seal: Who Can Stand

A great earthquake, a darkened sun, falling stars, a vanishing sky, and global terror follow. The great and the small alike try to hide from the wrath of the Lamb. The day of the Lord is certain. No one can stand apart from Jesus. Put your security in Christ alone.

The Urgency of Salvation

Have you surrendered your life to Jesus? He took your place and offers forgiveness as a gift. Confess your sin. Believe in Him. Surrender to His lordship. Time is short. Today is the day of salvation.

Continue Forward

A young naval captain once carried sealed orders to open at the point of no return. When he finally opened them the message read, Continue forward. Reinforcements are behind you. The commander has already gone ahead of you. That is true for every follower of Jesus. Your Commander has gone before you. The victory is secured. Stay the course. Obey His word. Trust His plan. Live with the end in mind.
