Worthy Is The Lamb (12 of 33)
Series: Revelation
Jim Perdue
Revelation 5:1-14
Intro/Attention
Tonight, we come in Revelation 5 in our study of the book of Revelation. I want to start this sermon by asking you a few questions. Do you have a cause worth living for? Is what you are living for worthy of Jesus' dying? When you get to where you are headed, where will you be? *Years ago, Reader's Digest reported that in order for a person to have a meaningful life, he needs three things. First, he needs someone to love. Second, he needs something to do. Third, he needs something to hope for. I think Reader's Digest is right, and the answer to all three of these things is Jesus. He is the One we love, the One we serve, and the One in whom we hope. Jesus Christ is the only One worthy of my love, my life, my all - and yours. Revelation 5 talks about this One-Jesus Christ. And it brings home the face that each of us will never have satisfaction and fulfillment or understand why God created us until we come to worship the One who is worthy. Tonight, we will examine why Jesus Christ is worthy as we study this sermon subject, Worthy Is The Lamb. READ TEXT

Many of them think heaven is some sort of celestial amusement park where you can ride on the Ferris Wheel and eat ice cream all day long and never get sick. Other children picture heaven as a kind of unending church service that goes on and on and on and never seems to stop. One seven-year-old boy spoke for many adults when he said, ''I know what heaven is, but I don't want to go there. I want to go to North Carolina instead.'' Many of us would say the same thing. We know heaven is real but we'd rather go to North Carolina (or Florida or Hawaii) first. Heaven can wait as far as we're concerned. But that attitude, common though it may be, reflects a complete reversal of the biblical picture. This earth is passing awa ...
