“You Are Worthy

Because You Were Put To Death”

 

Then the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down in front of the Lamb. Each one had a harp. They were holding golden bowls full of incense, which stand for the prayers of God's people.

Here is the new song they sang. "You are worthy to take the scroll and break open its seals. You are worthy because you were put to death. With your blood you bought people for God. They come from every tribe, language, people and nation. You have made them members of a royal family. You have made them priests to serve our God. They will rule on the earth."

Then I looked and heard the voice of millions and millions of angels. They surrounded the throne. They surrounded the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang, "The Lamb, who was put to death, is worthy! He is worthy to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength! He is worthy to receive honor and glory and praise!"

All creatures in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea, and all that is in them, were singing. I heard them say, "May praise and honor for ever and ever be given to the One who sits on the throne and to the Lamb! Give them glory and power forever and ever!"

The four living creatures said, "Amen." And the elders fell down and worshiped.

Revelation 5:8-14

When we become Christians, something rises in our hearts. It is like a burden being lifted from our shoulders.

God’s Son came to this earth to live among us. He died for our sins. We will see Him again, and we can sing praises forever. Think about that.

Until then, allow Jesus into your life. Seek His wisdom from His Word and follow His ways.

We can never praise Jesus too much.
