Reading from Revelation 5 in my daily notes this morning, and the portrayal of Christ in this passage is interesting as 2 contrasting images are portrayed. Firstly He is described as the “Lion of Judah” who has triumphed over evil, and is the one who can open the scroll detailing the last days. He is in control. But in the next verse He is described as “The Lamb that was slain”, slain for the sins of man on the cross, living a life of utter obedience to the Father. And this is the awesome Lord we worship, victorious in battle against evil, and submissive in obedience and reverence to the father. And it’s in Him we place and focus our lives, trusting in His will for our lives. He indeed is more than worthy to be the center of our worship.
