READ: Revelations 5:6-14
LISTEN: Revelation 5

In a loud voice they were saying: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” Revelation 5:12

The moment Jesus breathes his last, an earthquake rattles the earth, and the temple curtain is torn in two. The centurion standing near Jesus witnesses how Jesus died and exclaims, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” (Mark 15:39). Ironically, it is through Jesus’s humiliation on the cross that he is exalted as the Son of God. Later, Jesus’s disciple John sees a vision of Jesus, the Son of God, in the throne room being worshipped as the slain and worthy Lamb of God.

Jesus is the only one who is worthy of our everything. God desires for the entirety of our lives to be offered to him as a “living sacrifice” (Romans 12:1). God wants our entire lives to be offered to him in worship—including our family life, work, recreation, friendships and finances. Such a life of worship implies recognizing the true identity of Jesus and then offering every aspect of our lives to him in obedience and grateful surrender. He is the only one worthy of such devotion.

TODAY: Respond to the God who is worthy of your worship. Though worship involves more than singing, expressing gratitude through song is one way to worship our worthy God. Join Ada Bible Worship as they sing, “Worthy, Worthy.” As you sing, think of the uniqueness of Jesus, the Son of God and Lamb of God, who is worthy to take away our sins and receive worship and honor forever.
