Still seeing the throne room of heaven, John continues by giving us a vision of the scroll in the right hand of the one seated on the throne. This vision and lack of anyone worthy brings John to tears, but then the hero of Revelation is recognized - the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, the one who has conquered - the slaughtered Lamb. John then describes Jesus, explaining the one he sees and the response of heaven to Jesus. Worship and praise break out for the Lamb, exalting him, because he is worthy. Because Jesus alone is worthy, we must worship him alone with our lives.
The Revelation of Jesus Christ is written to further our understanding about Jesus. It demonstrates throughout his majesty, power and authority over the events and affairs of mankind. The Revelation of Jesus Christ demonstrates that ultimately – Jesus wins and because he does, we can and must trust him. No matter what comes into our lives, we can and must confidently and faithful rest in the ability of our God and Savior to work in our lives and in the world he has created. Jesus is worthy and “to him be glory and power forever and ever.” As John concludes, he quotes Jesus, “I am coming soon.” John responds, as every believer can and should – Come, Lord Jesus!
