Seize the Moment – Day 352
The Witnesses of Jesus’ Worthiness!
Good morning! This is Pastor Jerry Ingalls from New Castle First Baptist Church and today is Thursday March 4.
How many witnesses are needed to determine if a matter is true?
Revelation 5 is a powerful witness to the worthiness of Jesus Christ. I pulled out of this one chapter, three quotes that attest to who Jesus Christ is and how worthy He is of our worship.
First, the four living creatures and twenty-four elders sang a new song, saying in verses 9-10, “Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth.”
Second, the angels, numbering beyond count (“myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands”) said with a loud voice in verse 12, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing.”
Third, we hear the final testimony in verse 13, “And every created thing which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all things in them, I heard saying, ‘To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.’”
Jesus is worthy to be worshipped! That is beyond a reasonable doubt.
How are you responding to these eye-witness testimonials?
Seize the moment and worship Jesus. Trust Him as your Lord and Savior. He is worthy!
Let’s recite this week’s memory verse from 2 Corinthians 12:9a (NAS95), “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.”
