A Lamb
“And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain” (Revelation 5:6).
What a wonderful day it will be when we too are there in the Father’s House, and behold the One, who as the Lamb of God, went to Calvary and was slain in His love for us. There we will have a constant reminder of that great work, as we are occupied with “a Lamb as it had been slain.”
This is the One of whom John the Baptist said, “Behold the Lamb of God” (John 1:36)! And the One of whom we later read, “Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready” (Revelation 19:7).
As the Lamb, He is worthy! Worthy of our worship and praise. In heaven we will give Him that worship and praise, and sing, “Thou art worthy … for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by Thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation” (Revelation 5:9).
Today He wants our worship and praise as well. He is so worthy! Let’s give Him that which He desires most — the response of our hearts!
