As I mentioned in a previous blog post, in our church in our evening services we have been contemplating that Jesus is the Lamb of God who was slain to pay for our sins. In the book of Revelation in chapter 5 an angel is lamenting that no one is able and worthy to open the scroll in the author, John's vision. But then it was also revealed that Jesus, the Lamb of God, is the only One who is worthy to open the scroll and also the only One worthy of praise and worship. The scroll that He alone is worthy to open is symbolic of the future of all the world's events and of the unfolding of your and my life's stories. He is the only One the that is able to implement His will for this world and for your and my lives. He alone is in control.
You and I can trust Him in all this. Will you and I submit to Him as the all powerful Lion of Judah? Will we submit to Him as the Lamb of God who sacrificed Himself for us on the cross? Will I personally submit to Him and trust Him my grief and also in the things I don't understand? Will I further trust Him with my fears for the future? He is worthy of my trust!
There is a beautiful song that the Lord Jesus alone is worthy to open the scroll of this world's history and to implement His will in our lives. You can listen to that song by clicking the following link:
