Sunday Sermon
Text: Revelation 5:6-14
worship offered to God in heaven is splendid and perfect, we should learn from it so that we can also worship God that way.
Who is adored in heaven? (V.6-7). worship offered to Jesus the Lamb of God slain but he is alive and risen (so you are standing), has seven horns (a symbol of authority) and seven eyes (a symbol of the fullness of the Spirit). It is surrounded by living things that are special angels who surround the throne of God (in the book of Ezekiel is called cherubim) and 24 elders representing believers. Jesus reveals himself as the judge of the universe, which alone can open the scroll where the judgments of God against humanity. Worship for Jesus to be our Redeemer, Lord and Judge of the universe.
How adored Jesus in heaven? (V.8). Both angels and humans come together in worship, prostrate in an attitude of humiliation, offer prayers and sing songs of worship. If there is no humiliation worship must begin there, then we have to give all our burdens and concerns in prayer, trusting that the Lord can deliver us from evil, and finally the song springs from our lips sincerely and wholeheartedly. You see, true worship comes first from a broken and contrite heart that puts her loads and hope in God, and then it is expressed through the lips.
Why you worship Jesus in heaven? (V.9-14). Humans worship Jesus for having purchased from the bondage of sin and the devil and for having made, without deserving it, his kings and priests. Angels adore him for having received all authority and power in the sky. All creatures in the universe, even those under the earth (ie Hell), worship Jesus as the Lord. The Lord deserves all worship, each may have particular reasons to worship, the important thing is to offer our appreciation and gratitude for all the love he has given us. What are your reasons to worship Jesus?.
that we worship God in the land must be done under these same principles should not be superficial or appearance, but sincere and heartfelt.
