The Lamb of God
Pre-Introduction: Review of Saturday’s Message and the Problem
Ha-Foke-Bah Hebrew
Ha-Foke-Bah English
Introduction: The Holy Majesty of God confronts humanity with the seriousness of sin and the deep need we have for a redeemer.
God’s Holy Majesty exposes our utter sinfulness.
The Scroll: The Scroll may be small but it has something large in mind, the scroll is how God intends to enact His redemptive purposes in judgment upon the world.
He intends to liberate the world from sin, evil, and the devil.
The Challenge: Who is worthy to liberate the world and enact God’s redemptive purposes in judgment and blessing.
No one is worthy to approach God’s throne.
The Search: No on is found worthy to carry out God’s purposes in blessing and judgment.
No one has the power, the authority, the might, the holiness, the sinlessness.
There is no one.
The Tears: Unless this scroll is opened God’s purposes for redemption and judgment cannot come to pass.
John represents the persecuted body.
If the scroll is not opened then there is no rescue, there is no end to the evil, there is just endless evil upon the earth.
There may be holy praises around the throne but the world will sink further, and further.
In the presence of such terrifying majesty John weeps.
The Consolation: The Greater Son of David has been made King - He is Worthy!
The Lamb: John sees the risen-suffering Lamb with all authority and all of God’s Spirit.
The Ascent: The Lamb does not ask to ascend, he just ascends and takes the Scroll.
The Cosmic Response to Messiah Ascent
A New Song: Messiah’s Grace signals to the whole created order that the Kingdom of God is not reserved for good people but for forgiven people.
Grace never diminishes God’s Holy Majesty it Highlights it.
Grace constantly says, “No one was worthy except the Lamb and he gave his life so you could enter where you should be stopped from going.”
Grace constantly says, “It is not perfect people, it’s purchased sinners who reign in God’s Kingdom.”
The Guardians of the Throne Worship Sing a New Song
A New Song: Messiah’s Grace signals to the whole created order that the Kingdom of God is not reserved for good people but for forgiven people.
Grace never diminishes God’s Holy Majesty it Highlights it.
Grace understands fully the Holy Majesty of God and yet offers a way forward.
Grace constantly says, “No one was worthy except the Lamb and he gave his life so you could enter where you should be stopped from going.”
Grace constantly says, “It is not perfect people, it’s purchased sinners who reign in God’s Kingdom.”
The Heavenly Host Declare Their Sevenfold Loyalty
The Creaturely Word Declares It’s Loyalty
At this moment in Revelation, John is witnessing an important legal ceremony that sets an eternal precedent: permission to enter the throne room of God’s Holy Majesty is by Messiah’s death alone.
