“The Worthy Lamb” Revelation 5:1-14 Bible Study 08/09/15

From Revelation 4 to Revelation 5, readers may observe a shift in focus from creation to redemption. The God of creation is also the God of redemption and He fulfills His purposes through the person and work of Jesus Christ- the Lamb of God. From this morning’s text we learn that being heavenly-minded, in the best sense, means viewing all of life through the lens of the lordship of Jesus Christ. We also learn that true worship reflects on the cross with wonder and rejoices in the Savior’s worth.
