1. The Lion and a Lamb (1-7)

John's attention was drawn to a scroll in the right hand of God, containing God's plan of salvation. He wept when no one could open it. An elder helped him to look at Jesus the triumphant Lion of Judah, who was able to open the scroll and its seals. Jesus is the Lamb who was slain, yet is worshiped at the center of the throne of God, with power to reign (seven horns) and the spirit of God (seven eyes). We too need to look at Jesus our triumphant King and Savior.

2. Threefold worship of the Lamb (8-14)

Holy creatures and the noble elders worshiped the worthy Lamb with harp and the prayers of God's people. Jesus' blood purchased us and made us a kingdom: priests to serve God and reign on the earth. Millions of angels with loud voices join in worship of him who is worthy of all power, wealth, wisdom and strength, honor, glory and praise! Lastly, all creation joins the worship of Jesus.
