CHAPTER READ: Revelation 5
SCRIPTURE SELECTED: Revelation 5:9-10
9 And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
10 You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.”
OBSERVATION: They sang to Jesus, the Lion of Judah, the Root of David who is the Lamb that was slain. He alone is worthy to take the scrolls out of the hand of God, for by His blood He purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation. And He has made them to be a kingdom of priests to serve God and to reign on the earth.
APPLICATION: By the blood of the Lamb, He purchased a people to belong to God for the purpose of serving God as priests here on earth. Once we belong to God, we are called to serve Him by representing Him before the world, bringing those in the world to God. Those purchased are from every race, every nation, every people. None are excluded. None are forgotten. All are called to serve as priests.
PRAYER: Lord, what a privilege and an honor to be apart of this kingdom of priests with a purpose to bring people from every nation and every walk of life to God. What a high calling, made possible by Your sacrifice! Thank You! Amen
