Jesus Alone Is Worthy To Open The Seals
“Worthy” is a big word, and we do not hand it out lightly. We start in Revelation 5:9 where heaven sings to the Lamb who was slain, and we ask what that means when the world keeps talking about Jesus, resisting Him, or trying to replace Him with something safer. For us, the centre is clear: redemption is not a theory, a trend, or a church brand. It is the blood of Jesus Christ buying people back for God from every nation. We trace that redemption thread through the Bible, connecting Genesis 22, the Passover lamb in Exodus, and the repeated sacrifices that could never fully atone. Then we land in Ephesians 1:7 and keep it plain: “In him we have redemption through his blood.” Along the way we challenge religion that swaps the cross for performance, or avoids the language of sin and grace to stay “seeker friendly”. The question is personal, not institutional: do we know Jesus as Lord and Saviour, and do we understand what it truly means to be born again? We also open Psalm 22 and place it next to John 19, where the details of Calvary echo with prophetic clarity, including the casting of lots for Jesus’ garments. The conversation touches on culture and education too, including the stubborn reality of before Christ and after Christ, and why the cross still divides history. We finish at the Lord’s table with communion, prayer, and a simple invitation to seek God with your whole heart.
