The Son of God

Good Morning,
 
Would it startle you if I dared to say that the living God has never done anything in His universe apart from Jesus Christ? Christians seem to be woefully unaware of the full meaning and measure of the grace of God. Why should we question God's provision when the Holy Spirit tells us through the Apostle John that the Word who became flesh is "full of grace and truth"?  Christian friend, the stars in their courses, the frogs that croak beside the lake, the angels in heaven above and men and women on earth below-all came out of the channel we call the eternal Word; and we realize, that in this He had the first word!
 
Yesterday we look at the scene in Revelation 4 around the throne of the Father, today in Revelation 5 it focuses on the Son of God.  In this scene, John bears record of the whole universe joining to give praise to the Lamb that was slain, for He was the only one worthy to open the book, which reveals the end; therefore, we realize in this He has the last word.  Under the earth and on the earth, and above the earth John heard creatures praising Jesus Christ, all joining in a great chorus: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory and blessing!"  Yes, surely the entire universe is beneficiary of God's rich grace in Jesus Christ!
 
God bless you today as you worship and serve Him, and never forget that you are loved!!!
