Heaven Five
And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, "Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?" But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or even look inside. Revelation 5:2-5 NIV
Can you imagine the predicament John was in? Here he had been granted the vision of Heaven. He had been given a rare opportunity to see a glimmer of eternity and report back to us. His writings are so descriptive and not specific, because he can't come up with words that adequately portray what he has seen. What an awesome opportunity!
But then, oh man, what is he going to do? Before him, right before his very eyes is the scroll, the deed to all of Earth, the rights to our eternity, rolled up and sealed. Our future, and the future of the world, were in this scroll. John knew this full well, but the devestating part is that no one...not one s oul...could be found worthy to open the scroll. It would be like going to the reading of your wealthy aunt's will, only to find that the cover letter said she had to open it (and she's dead).
John couldn't handle it. He broke down. What would you do? Everything John had preached and taught that one day we as Christians would reign with Christ forever and ever. And now, that dream, rolled up in a scroll, and no one is worthy to open it. How would you feel?
But then, there came the Lamb, the precious Lamb, looking as if He had been slain. The Lamb, Jesus Christ, the precious son of God; He is worthy to open the scroll. (vs 6) Praise God, Jesus is worthy! Have no fear John! We are saved through the Lamb!
Worthy is the Lamb who takes away the sins of the world! The Lamb of God is worthy of all your praise today!
