Author: Donald Cantrell
Text: Revelation 5:1-7
I - The Scroll that was Sealed (1)
II - The Search that was Sorrowful (2 - 4)
III - The Savior that was Sufficient (5 - 7)

For many years no one even knew what lay beyond that cape, for no ship attempting to round that point had ever returned to tell the tale.
Among the ancients it was known as the "Cape of Storms," and for good reason. But then a Portuguese explorer in the sixteenth century, Vasco De Gama, successfully sailed around that very point and found beyond the wild raging storms, a great calm sea, and beyond that, the shores of India. The name of that cape was changed from the Cape of Storms to the Cape of Good Hope.
Until Jesus Christ rose from the dead, death had been the cape of storms on which all hopes of life beyond had been wrecked. No one knew what lay beyond that point until, on Easter morning, those ancient visions of Isaiah became the victory of Jesus over our last great enemy. Jesus defeated Satan.
Suddenly, like those ancient explorers, we can see beyond human death to the hope of heaven and eternal life with the Father. More than that, we dare to believe that we shall experience in our own human lives exactly what the Son of God experienced in His, for the risen Christ says to us, "Because I live, you shall live also."
This is the heart of our faith.

The chapter is vital to the future affairs of mankind, but ...
