Summary
Drawing from Revelation 5, the sermon examines God's righteous judgment and Christ's exclusive worthiness to open the scroll of divine judgment. Only Jesus—through His sinless life, sacrificial death, and resurrection—qualifies to judge humanity; believers who trust in His blood escape judgment's wrath, while those who reject Him receive God's just condemnation.
Highlights
When we sing the words, 'Open the scroll, break the seal, worthy Lord,' we are asking God to stop everything that's going on in the world and to return and bring judgment on the earth.
The one who is judging us is the one who lived a perfect life in the wicked world that we can't avoid. The one who is judging us is the one who was beaten for sins that he didn't commit that we should be paying for.
You might be holding judgment, bitterness and resentment towards people in your heart. But the same measure of mercy you show other people, you will be shown by the Father.
