WORTHY IS THE LAMB

Revelation 5:1-14

Key Verse 5:12

1. What might the scroll represent, and why is it sealed with seven seals (1)? Why did John weep bitterly (2-4)? What is the significance of the titles “the Lion of the tribe of Judah” and “the Root of David” (5; Gen 49:9–10; Isa 11:1, 10)?
2. How is the Lamb described, and what does this description reveal about Jesus (6)? What does the Lamb’s taking the scroll reveal about his authority and role in fulfilling God’s plan for history (7)?
3. Why did the heavenly beings fall down before the Lamb (8a)? What do the harps, the golden bowls full of incense, and the new song represent (8b–9a)? Why is the Lamb worthy to open the scroll and its seals (9b-10)?
4. What does the countless multitude of angels reveal about the Lamb (11)? Why is the slain Lamb worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, and praise (12)? What does the worship of every creature reveal about the lordship of God and the Lamb (13-14)?
