Revelation 5
THE FOCUS OF PRAISE
Picture the scene. In the centre of the throne stands the Lamb. In a small circle around him are the four living creatures. The twenty-four elders make another circle around the lamb and the four living creatures. Then as we move outwards from the centre, thousands upon thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand angels circle the throne, the elders and the living creatures. And lastly, every creature in heaven and earth and on the sea and all that is in them turn to face the Lamb.
The Lamb that all creation is focussed on is the only one who is worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals and to look inside. The Lamb is the saviour of the world. In his death and by his blood he purchased men for God and made them to be a kingdom of priests to serve our God. Because he is worthy, one by one, each of these groups encircling the throne give him praise until the whole world is resounding with his praise.
Where are we in this picture? Are we turned so that our attention is focused on Jesus? Are we praising him? Are we some of those leading praise to the Lamb? One day our praise will flow to him. Let’s make it today.
May our praise grow this weekend
With love in our Lord,
Robert
