Who is Worthy?

The One who is Worthy.

Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals? And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, (Revelation 5: 1-3)

There was not one worthy to open the scroll in all creation. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23A) And I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look into it. (Rev 5:4) And one of the elders said to me, "Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals. (Rev 5:5)

He is Worthy! He is Worthy! Let all creation sing glory to His name. Worthy is the lORD God Almighty! We were ransomed not with perishable things such as silver or gold, "But with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God." (1 Peter 1:14-21)

"Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain,
and by your blood you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation"...

​-Revelation 5: 9A
