“I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside” (4). John wept because no one on earth was good enough to open the book of God’s great promises; all humanity had failed and forfeited God’s blessings. But one of the elders said “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah ... triumphed” (5). The Lamb, Jesus Christ, can open the scroll because His death “purchased for God” people from all nations (9).
“You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God” (10). We are not shut out from God’s promises, because of Jesus. Through Him we are included, restored, and given a holy purpose.
