Text: Revelation 5:1-12 (KJV)
1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof?
3 And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4 And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of* the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
7 And he came and took the book out of the right hand of him that sat upon the throne.
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;
12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
KEY VERSE: Revelation 5:9
“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation.”

DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
Man was separated from God and lost his place in paradise after Adam fell. God signalled His redemption plan prefigured in the blood of the paschal lamb as a provision of cleansing for the sins and protection from the angel of death for the children of Israel. Sadly, this could not provide permanent antidote because the Israelites had to perform the same ritual every year. Even the priests that carried out the sacrifices needed atonement for their own sins, because “…all have sinned and come short of the glory of God”. This shows the hopelessness of humanity without Jesus Christ, the perfect Lamb that was slain for our sins.
Our text reveals the proclamation concerning the sealed book and the question about who is worthy to open it. The silence, sorrow and despair were ominous until one of the elders announced that the “…Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book…” (Revelation 5:5). This brought joy and singing in heaven because Christ provided an avenue of freedom and dominion for humankind.
The yoke of sin is heavier than anyone could bear and the price of freedom is greater than anyone could pay. Those who desire salvation and total freedom from the power of sin must quit all human efforts through religion and self-righteousness and approach Jesus in sincere repentance and plea for pardon.
Christ is the worthy Lamb sacrificed for you. Only His blood and not that of any animal can cleanse and give you the power to live a victorious life above sin and Satan. He knows everything about you and your futile efforts to be free. Why wait any further when you can be free to sing the song of the redeemed?
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Christ is the only Lamb worthy to bring redemption to humanity.
