There is hope

March 26 – There is hope – Rev 5:5

VS 5 – One of the elders put his hand on the shoulder of John and said, “Do not weep.” There is hope. The elder had the privilege of giving hope to all creation. What a moment for that elder. To reveal the hope of all the universe. Catch the excitement in the voice of this elder. He is about to reveal the name of the greatest individual who has ever lived. The person who steps from eternity in time and space, matter and motion. The person who gave mankind salvation and redemption. He is about to reveal the only one worthy.

Here we are introduced to two of the name given to the Savior of mankind. The Lion of Judah who breaks every chain and gives to us the victory again and again. The mighty one, the one who rules with authority, power, and dominion. His voice has the sound of many waters. He is the root of David. Remember David received a promise from the Lord that one of his ancestors would rule forever. Jesus Christ is worthy. He has redeemed us from the curse of the law. His broken body and shed blood has given us salvation. His death, burial, and resurrection has given us eternal and abundant life. The elder said, “He has triumphed.” He has broken the power of sin, hell and the grave. He has defeated the world the flesh and the devil. Common let us shout of praise the Lord.

Jesus is worthy of all honor, glory, and power. He is worthy to open the seal and view is contents. He is worthy of releasing what is inside. This, of course, comes with a two-edge sword. The contents are beyond anything the world ever seen up to this point. Everything will change forever when the contents are revealed.
