Irony….rejected…
I took this picture of an old picture in Baker, Oregon this fall…obviously, the picture taker saw the irony of the horses pulling a trailer of cars…or was one of those who thumbed their nose at the cars, thinking this is just a fad which will go away…
As I read Revelation 4 and 5, it was with awe, the word descriptions which John wrote about seeing the Lamb and the scroll were hard to fathom on one hand and totally indescribable on the other…
Over the times since the beginning, some have accepted and others rejected God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit….the Triune God who created the universe…some have thumbed their noses at such a tale…while others believed, saw beyond…
We all have to make that decision for ourselves…will we reject or accept the story written on our heart…
Will we find Jesus worthy …
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship.
Gal.4.4-5
Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying:“
‘Holy, holy, holyis the Lord God Almighty,’who was, and is, and is to come.”
Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives for ever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives for ever and ever.
They lay their crowns before the throne and say: “You are worthy, our Lord and God,to receive glory and honor and power,for you created all things,and by your will they were created and have their being.”
And they sang a new song, saying:“You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,because you were slain,and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,and they will reign on the earth.”
Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.
In a loud voice they were saying:“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strengthand honor and glory and praise!”
Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, saying:“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lambbe praise and honor and glory and power,for ever and ever!”
The four living creatures said, “Amen,” and the elders fell down and worshiped.
Rev.4:8-11,Rev.5.9-14
Jesus is not a fad, to be taken lightly…he is the real…the eternal, the Saviour….the Worthy…
When I read these verses, I want to burst into the Hallelujah chorus…to be sung standing in adoration….worship…
Thank YOU….
Hallelujah Chorus…
