Why Jesus is Worshipped as the Lamb

“I saw, and I heard something like a voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousands of ten thousands, and thousands of thousands; saying with a loud voice, “Worthy is the Lamb who has been killed to receive the power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing!” I heard every created thing which is in heaven, on the earth, under the earth, on the sea, and everything in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb be the blessing, the honor, the glory, and the dominion, forever and ever! Amen!” The four living creatures said, “Amen!” The elders fell down and worshiped.” (Revelation‬ ‭5:11-14‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Why do the heavenly hosts and all creation call Jesus “the Lamb”? This is what I asked the Holy Spirit.

The answer I received is that Jesus is being worshipped for what He did at the cross.

At the cross, Jesus became Abba God’s true Passover Lamb, and was slain so that all men who place their faith in Him will be forgiven of their sins through His blood, spared from judgment, and have eternal life.

“The next day, he saw Jesus coming to him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” (John‬ ‭1:29‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Although Jesus will be the Lion who slays the wicked and rescues Israel in the future, it is His sacrifice as the Lamb that will forever be praised.

The God of glory stepped out of the comforts of Heaven, became a Man, and died an agonizing, humiliating death at the cross to redeem the ones He loves. Such majesty, humility, and pure love!

Notice how Jesus has received “power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing”?

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ;” (Ephesians‬ ‭1:3‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Every good thing is found in Christ. Apart from Him, you cannot receive them. Don’t look to the world or to yourself for solutions. Receive them from Jesus for you are blessed in Him!

The Book of Revelation is full of mysterious symbols and complex non-chronological timelines. You may get confused if you are just beginning to read it. I believe that “The Book of Revelation Explained” will be a useful guide to you: https://bit.ly/bookofrevelationexplained

Takeaways from Proverbs 18
(Day 11 of #ProverbsHesedWisdomChallenge to read a chapter from the Book of Proverbs each day which corresponds to the date as suggested by Pastor Joseph Prince in 7 Jan 2018’s Vision Sunday sermon -
http://www.miltongoh.net/miltons-blog/the-year-of-hesed-wisdom-vision-sunday-new-creation-church-theme-of-the-year-2018 ):

A sign of wisdom is when a person listens with an open mind without interrupting.

“A [closed-minded] fool does not delight in understanding, But only in revealing his personal opinions [unwittingly displaying his self-indulgence and his stupidity].
He who answers before he hears [the facts]-- It is folly and shame to him.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭18:2, 13‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

When we call on the name of Jesus it is a true protection from evil.
However when people trust in their wealth as a form of security, it is actually false confidence and has no real protective power.

“The name of the LORD is a strong tower; The righteous runs to it and is safe and set on high [far above evil]. The rich man’s wealth is his strong city, And like a high wall [of protection] in his own imagination and conceit.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭18:10-11‬ ‭AMP‬)

When disaster strikes, you can trace the source of it back to a moment when pride and arrogance filled the heart.

“Before disaster the heart of a man is haughty and filled with self-importance, But humility comes before honor.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭18:12‬ ‭AMP‬)

One way of strengthening your spirit is by praying in tongues. When your spirit is strong, your body can fend off sickness.

“The spirit of a man sustains him in sickness, But as for a broken spirit, who can bear it?” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭18:14‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

One who is generous with gifts tends to gain great favor with others, even benefactors.

“A man’s gift [given in love or courtesy] makes room for him And brings him before great men.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭18:16‬ ‭AMP)

Treasure the relationships in your life. It’s better to resolve disputes peacefully because a broken relationship is very difficult to be mended.

“A brother offended is harder to win over than a fortified city, And contentions [separating families] are like the bars of a castle.” (PROVERBS‬ ‭18:19‬ ‭AMP‬‬)

The words that we speak all have a consequence.
They either produce life or death. We get what we speak. Therefore, be very deliberate when speaking.

“A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; He will be satisfied with the consequence of his words. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.” ‭‭(PROVERBS‬ ‭18:20-21‬ ‭AMP‬)

Many great blessings are found in a marriage that’s led by God.

“He who finds a [ true and faithful] wife finds a good thing And obtains favor and approval from the LORD.” (PROVERBS‬ ‭18:22‬ AMP)

If you become a people-pleaser you will be broken and disappointed.
We only need to be pleasing to One and find our security and happiness in Him: The Lord Jesus who is our true Friend.

“The man of too many friends [chosen indiscriminately] will be broken in pieces and come to ruin, But there is a [true, loving] friend who [is reliable and] sticks closer than a brother.” (PROVERBS‬ ‭18:24‬ ‭AMP‬‬)
