#soap # Revelation 05 ## Title: Jesus is Worthy ## Scripture: (Revelation 5:9) They were singing a new song: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals because you were killed, and at the cost of your own blood you have purchased for God persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation. (NET) ## Observation: It is important to remember that this book has been inspired by the Holy Spirit to bring comfort and challenge to a persecuted church in the first century. In this chapter, they see Jesus as the only one worthy of “fixing” or redeeming the world. This is what He is doing when He is opening a scroll with seven seals. They would have recognized it as a land deed. Only Jesus had paid the price and could redeem fallen humanity. This apocalyptic imagery would have reminded them that Jesus is worthy and He is still in control. They were on the right path. Don’t give up. The same goes for us today. ## Application: Where, in your life, do you need to remember that God is in control? ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for being worthy to redeem us all. It is an honor to serve so great a Savior and King.
