每日箴言
配受敬拜的羔羊!
“曾被杀的羔羊是配得权柄、丰富、智慧、能力、尊贵、荣耀、颂赞的。” - 启 5:12
灵修
圣经学者告诉我们,每当罗马皇帝进城的时候,国民都会呼喊:“配受敬拜的!”然而,那位因为口称耶稣为主而被放逐的使徒约翰知道,唯有耶稣才是配受敬拜的——而不是皇帝。
今天我们受邀,以属灵的眼睛来观看约翰所看见的天堂异象。我们被召集与众多天使和其他活物一起来歌唱,高呼主是配受敬拜的。
神配受我们一切的颂赞和尊崇,因为祂是创造又是救赎的主。我们的每一口呼吸,都来自于造我们的那位;我们的新生命,都是基督的宝血买赎回来的。
我们的主耶稣、这位曾被宰杀的羔羊,配得打开历史的书卷(参启示录5:6-9)。那位曾死在十架之后复活、赐给我们新生命,以致我们可以服侍祂并与祂一起作王的,正是现在掌权的那位。天上地下所有的权柄都赐给祂了,祂的国度没有穷尽。
让我们与万物齐声歌唱赞美我们的神、我们的王!“愿颂赞、尊贵、荣耀、能力都归给祂,直到永远!...... 阿们。”
祷告
主啊,我们的创造者、维系者、救主和君王啊,我们敬拜祢!我们跪拜祢的面前,齐声歌唱赞美祢说,“曾被杀的羔羊是配受敬拜的”,愿荣耀和颂赞都归给祢!奉耶稣的名祷告,阿们。
普世佳音每日箴言
Worship The One Who Is Worthy
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" — Revelation 5:12
Devotion
Bible scholars tells us that whenever a Roman emperor entered a city, the citizens shouted, "Worthy!" The apostle John, who had been exiled because he confessed Jesus as Lord, knew that only Jesus was worthy—not the emperor.
Today we are invited to see with spiritual eyes what John saw happening in heaven. We are summoned to join with the multitude of angels and other creatures in singing that the Lord is worthy.
God is worthy of all our praise and honor because he is the Creator and Savior. We owe every breath to the One who has made us, and we have new life, purchased by the blood of Christ, because he was slain for our sake.
Our Lord Jesus, the Lamb who was slain, is worthy to open the scroll of history (explained in Rev. 6-9). The One who died on the cross and rose from the dead, giving us new life in order to serve and rule with him, is the One who now reigns. All authority in heaven and on earth belongs to him, and his kingdom will never end.
Shall we lift up our voices and sing with all the creatures of our God and King? "To him . . . be praise and honor and glory and power, for ever and ever! . . . Amen."
Prayer
We worship you, Lord, our Creator, Sustainer, Savior, and King. We bow before you and join our voices in praise as we sing: "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain." To you be all glory and praise! Amen.
