THE WORTHY ONE
A poem by ILMA
I saw a scroll in the right hand of the one sitting on the throne
Writings were on and outside and inside and was sealed with seven seals
An angel shouted loudly “Who is worthy to break the seals and open it?”
No one in heaven or on earth or under it was able to open and read it.
Then I started weeping for no one was found worthy to open the scroll
One of the twenty-four elders told me to stop weeping for one is worthy
The Lion of the tribe of Judah, David’s heir has won the victory
He is the only one worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.
Then I saw a lamb as if it was slaughtered but is now standing
It is standing right between the throne and the four living beings
He had seven horns and seven eyes which represent the sevenfold Spirit
These sevenfold Spirit is sent out into each and every part of the earth.
He took the scroll, and the living beings and elders fell down before the Lamb
As they played their harps, they sang a new song with these words:
“You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it
For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed many.”

MEMORY VERSE
Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David’s throne, has won the victory. He is worthy to open the scroll and its seven seals.” – Revelation 5:5
Read: Revelation 5
In this glorious scene that John explicitly described, we can have a glimpse of the glory of the Lamb of God, who took away all our sins and is not seated on the throne where all the beings and elders bowed down to praise and give him glory.

REFLECTION
• How often do you reflect on the illustration of that time when Jesus will come again and we will see all his splendor, glory and power and all will bow down to Him?
