Praise to the Lamb: - Dr. Tania Nelson, CEO of the LCA’s Local Mission

In Revelation 5, we are presented with the intrigue of ‘the one who sits on the throne’ holding a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. Many of us who might read this will move quickly past so that we can catch a glimpse of the mysterious words inside, but on this scroll, the viewer is intrigued that there is writing on both sides.  What is this about? The scriptures have been revealed, but perhaps the symbolism is that what is inside is the final word, the last ‘Big Reveal’ of God’s immense end to time and the beginning of eternity. It’s sealed with seven seals, and as we heard from Pastor Rolly last week, that means it is sealed perfectly.So perfectly, in fact, that no one on earth, above or below it, can open it. Only the one with the power to do it.  Who is this? Who is it that will reveal God’s last and final word of judgement and promise? What are these words?
