Revelation of Jesus Christ

In this book, Jesus Christ is revealed - the Revelation of Jesus Christ - no longer as a Babe in the manger, no longer as the Savior on the Cross, but as the triumphant King. 1:5-6 say, "and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father - to Him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen." The reason Jesus came was because He loved us, and to set us free from our sins. He then loved us enough to take us out of our sin in order to make us a part of His kingdom, so that we can serve His Father and God, who becomes our Father and God. In the first five chapters of Revelation we see Jesus glorified, as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. There was only One person who was worthy to take the scroll, and that was Jesus, which was why chapter five ends with praise by the singing of a new song which says "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation. You have made them to be a kingdom of priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth." We can be triumphant, because Jesus was triumphant. We, like the four living creatures and elders, should fall down and worship, for He alone is worthy.
