“And they sang a new song, 'You are worthy to take the scroll and to open the seals because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have them to be a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” Revelation 5:9-10
Many times it seems good goes unrewarded and evil goes on forever popularized. Who will vindicate the faithful believers who pray and wait in hope of God's justice?
Jesus will! The prayers of saints through all the ages will release the judicial power of the Lamb of God. They will break the long silence in heaven which follows the angel's question:”Who is worthy to break the seals and to open the scroll?”
The saints have known all along who is worthy. Once they were sinners who prayed and the blood of Jesus cleansed them from all sin. Every believer knows the rise of hope in the heart when Jesus' blood sets them free from condemnation and the fear of death. They know the power of shed blood that flowed on the cross the day Jesus was slain. They know the blood of Jesus has never lost it's power.
In John's vision described in Revelation, the redeemed saints break the silence among angels with a new song, a love song to the Redeemer. They know He is worthy.
He stood for them in Pilate's judgment hall, died for them on the cross, stood as Victor over death, hell and the grave. Now he stands, the Lamb of God, in the throne room of heaven, their Redeemer. He is their High Priest and they are a kingdom of priests. Those who served Him will soon reign with Jesus on the earth.
Yes, He, the Righteous Judge, will reward good and evil shall be punished.
YOU BELONG TO JESUS! He purchased your redemption. He made you His own.
SING YOUR PRAYER: You have a song the angels can never sing. It is the song of the redeemed, sinners cleansed by Jesus' blood. Practice now to break the silence in heaven, when angels ask, “Who is worthy?” Sing “You, are worthy, O Lord.”
