December 28 Revelation 4:1-8:6 Creator/Redeemer Worthiness

Revelation 4/5 are some of my favorite chapters in the Bible because they recount why God is worthy.

These chapters are set in the throne room of God. There is constant worship of the special angels and 24 elders (note Elders - you should be the lead worshipers!). God the Father is worthy of worship because He is the Creator of all things. This is a huge theme by the psalmists.

Jesus is worthy because He is the redeemer of man. Jesus is seen as the Lamb by John, but will be seen as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah by those who oppose Him - not a wise move by the opposition.

These two chapters comprise a synopsis of how and why we should worship the Godhead - 3 in 1. If you ever want to remember who God is - return to these chapters.
