Topic: A Sealed Book And The Lion
Text: Revelation 5:1-6
1And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals.
3And no man in heaven, nor in earth, neither under the earth, was able to open the book, neither to look thereon.
4And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
5And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
6And 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, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
Key Verse: “And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven seals” (Revelation 5:1)
Message
John, the Revelator saw in the hands of Almighty God a book sealed with seven seals. The contents were hidden. God had said to Prophet Daniel, “Shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end…” (Daniel 12:4). In our text, after Jesus had ascended to heaven, the book was still sealed. To open the seals, no one was found worthy both in heaven among the angels, and on earth. This made John to weep, but one of the elders announced that, “the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

Jesus Christ’s ability to take the book and to open the seals signifies His greatness and authority. He made known to His servant, John the revelation which God had given Him. As each successive seal was opened, successive portions of the writing in the book became accessible. May God, who is All Wise and All Knowing reveal to you hidden things now and in the future in the name of Jesus Christ.
Quote: To open the seals, no one was found worthy
Challenge: Jesus only is worthy to take the book and open its seals.
Prayer for today: Oh God, help me to read your book to know your will in Jesus’ name.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
