The Lamb Rules

September 4, 2022

Revelation 6:1-8 — Christ the Lamb rules from the throne and executes God’s plan for the world. As He opens the first four seals, God allows human sinfulness to run its course, resulting in warfare, violence, bloodshed, economic hardship, famine, and death. These serve as His judgments and punishments on the unbelieving and unrepentant world. They are final warnings for people to repent. These tribulations also result in persecution and suffering for the believers. The faithful will be purified and saved. These judgments should not lead us to despair but give us hope and encouragement because they indicate that God is fulfilling his plan of salvation. The Lamb is in control and the Lord is coming soon to bring in the final end.

Worship the Lamb

August 28 2022

Revelation 5:1-14 — The Lion is the Lamb, the slaughtered Lamb. Jesus Christ is the Lion-Lamb. He conquered Satan, evil, and death through his crucifixion and his resurrection. Because of his victory he is worthy to execute, complete, and fulfill God’s plan to judge the world, save his people, and restore his creation. We should worship the Lamb because through his death on the cross he redeemed a multicultural people for God and made them a kingdom and priests. We should worship the Lamb with God because he is God and rules with God.

Wake Up!

July 24, 2022

Revelation 3:1-6 — Jesus Christ, the Sovereign Lord of his church, calls us to wake up and remain awake so that we will be worthy to be bearers of His Name.
