The Only One WorthyRevelation 5:1-7
1. A Challenge that is Cosmic (5:1-2)
The Scroll—title deed of creation
• Written on both sides=a full account of what God decreed• Sealed=completely inaccessible• Seven=number of witnesses
The Scroll—title deed of creation
The opening of the seal did not merely reveal the contents, it activated the contents.
2. An Inadequacy that is Universal (5:3-4)
Why is John so shaken?
Because unless someone worthy is found, God’s purposes of salvation and judgment would not occur.
Why didn’t God do it?
Because it needed to be a man.
3. A King that is Qualified (5:5-7)
• He is the “lion of the tribe of Judah”
• He is the “root and offspring of David”
• He is the “lamb that was slain yet has triumphed”
Jesus as Lamb Jesus as Lion
