Worthy Is the Lamb
Eric Marvin, Pastor
In Week 2 of our Revelation 2026 series, Pastor Eric Marvin walks through Revelation 5: a powerful scene in the throne room of God where the question is asked: who is worthy to open the scroll?
John sees a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne, sealed with seven seals. As heaven searches for someone worthy to open it, John begins to weep because no one is found able to carry out God’s plan of restoration.
But then the answer is revealed: the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered. Yet when John looks, he sees not a fierce warrior, but a slaughtered Lamb. Jesus is the conquering King who wins through sacrifice, the One who gave His life and purchased people for God by His blood.
Through this passage, we see that Jesus alone has the power and authority to execute God’s plan, break the curse, judge evil, and restore creation. All of heaven responds in worship because the Lamb is worthy to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and blessing.
This message challenges us to answer one of the most important questions in life: Who is Jesus? Revelation 5 shows us that Jesus is not merely a teacher, prophet, or good man; He is God, the risen Savior, the slaughtered Lamb, and the only One worthy of our worship, faith, and trust.
