Worthy Is The Lamb

The Apostle John tries to tell us how many angels begin to praise the Lord around Heaven's throne, but the number is too great for him to fathom. Ten thousand was the largest number known to the Greeks. John says it’s as many as you can imagine times that many again and many thousands more.

Revelation 5:11-12 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands; Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing.

Jesus is not in a dirty manger, on a dusty road in Galilee or a ship in a storm. He’s not dodging rocks thrown by religious rulers wanting to kill Him because He claims deity.

Jesus is not hanging in shame and agony on a cross or lying in a cold, sealed tomb. He’s where He deserves to be---on the throne in Heaven, glorified and exalted.

The Lamb of God still bares scars  of the cross as a constant reminder of what He did for us. There will be no room for pride in Heaven.  No one will be able to brag about how they got there.

When we see Him, we will see His love on permanent display. What a cause for continuous worship and praise!
