Worthy is the Lamb Sermon Notes from Revelation 5
Revelation 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a scroll
written inside and on the back, sealed with seven seals.
Revelation 5:2 Then I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is
worthy to open the scroll and to loose its seals?”
Revelation 5:3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able
to open the scroll, or to look at it.
Revelation 5:4 So I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open and
read the scroll, or to look at it.
Revelation 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion
of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to
loose its seven seals.”
Revelation 5:6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the
four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though
it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits
of God sent out into all the earth.
Revelation 5:7 Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who
sat on the throne.
Revelation 5:8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and
the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden
bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.
Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll,
and to open its seals; For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your
blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
Revelation 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign
on the earth.”
Revelation 5:11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the
throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten
thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands,
Revelation 5:12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to
receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
Revelation 5:13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under
the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying:
Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to
the Lamb, forever and ever!”
Revelation 5:14 Then the four living creatures said, “Amen!” And the twenty-four
elders fell down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever.
When we’ve been there ten thousand years bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days, to sing God’s praise, than when we first begun.
Christian author John Eldredge in his book, The Journey of Desire writes,
“Nearly every Christian I have spoken with has some idea that eternity is an unending
church service … We have settled on an image of the never-ending sing-along in the
sky, one great hymn after another, forever and ever, amen. And our heart sinks.
Forever and ever? That’s it? That’s the good news? And then we sigh and feel
guilty that we are not more spiritual. We lose heart, and we turn once more to the
present to find what life we can. ”
1 Corinthians 13:12 (EASY) At this time, we see things as if we were looking at them
in a mirror. What we see now is not clear. But the time will come when we do not
need a mirror. We will see everything clearly. Now we know only a part of what is true.
But then we will know everything completely. We will understand completely, just as
God understands us completely.
V. THE SAINT’S SONG FOR THE WORTHY ONE.
1. IT IS A WORSHIP SONG
Revelation 5:9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy …”
Like the song says “The Heart of Worship” proclaims
I’m comin’ back to the heart of worship
‘Cause it’s all about You
It’s all about You, Jesus
I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
‘Cause it’s all about You
It’s all about You, Jesus,
2. IT IS A GOSPEL SONG
Revelation 5:9 “… For You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood…”
Revelation 5:6 “… and in the midst of the elders stood a Lamb as though it had been
slain …
Revelation 5:12 “… Worthy is the Lamb who was slain …
Redeemed how I love to proclaim it, Redeemed by the blood of the lamb.
There is power wonder working power in the blood of the Lamb
Are you washed in the blood,In the soul-cleansing blood of the Lamb?
3. IT IS A MISSIONARY SONG.
Revelation 5:9 “… out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
Send the light, the blessed gospel light; Let it shine from shore to shore.
Spread the tidings all around- Jesus saves! Jesus saves!
Rescue the perishing, Care for the dying, Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
4. IT IS A HEAVENLY PROPHETIC SONG.
Revelation 5:10 And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign
on the earth.
When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that shall be.
All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall,
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown him Lord of all.
Crown Him with many crowns, the Lamb upon the throne.
What a day that will be, when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face, The One who saved me by His grace

Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

He is David’s Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
From ev’ry people and tribe, ev’ry nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God to reign with the Son
Is He worthy? Is He worthy
Of all blessing and honor and glory?
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?
He is! He is!
