It’s unusual for the Bible to tell us right out what the symbols are supposed to mean – Jesus only does it one time with his parables – but John goes to lengths here to explain why the lamb is put together with all these extra bits. Except, in this case, the explanation doesn’t seem to help us understand it any better! The prayer helps us more. The Spirit goes out to the end of the world, helping us to live lives worthy of God.
- I wonder what the song sounded like and the incense smelled like? What do you wonder?
- Do you think it’s important to understand the mechanics of each part of the Bible? Or is is the experience or image enough?
