Worship

Participation in Worship

In Revelation chapter 4 and 5, John, the aged apostle of our Lord describes his unique opportunity to see into heaven, the throne room of God. The scene he describes is a picture of heavenly creatures who are gathered around the throne to worship the One seated upon the throne. Our conclusion is that the One on the throne would have to be God, our heavenly Father. In chapter five the scene changes as we are introduced to a Lamb. We immediately recognize Him as "the lamb of God," as John the Baptist described Him (John 1:29). That Lamb is none other than Jesus, the Christ, God's Son. Everyone around the throne was worshiping, and that's what we will be doing when we get there.
