Can you imagine this scene in heaven? Imagine yourself adding your voice to all those singing: "the Lamb is worthy!"
When MercyMe wrote the song, "I can only imagine", I wonder if they had Rev. 4 & 5 in their minds as the backdrop? This scene in heaven causes me to tremble every time I think or read about it. It will truly be awesome.
I love the image of Jesus being described both as a Lion and a Lamb. As a Lion He conquered sin for all of us who believe. As a Lamb He paid the price for our sin by His sacrifice on the cross. He is both the Lion and the Lamb.
Read it here.
The Lion/Lamb dichotomy is awesome! I love that we have a Lord so powerful as to enforce His will and so merciful as to receive the blow for us that He can be both just and the justifier!
