Worthy Is The Lamb That Was Slain

April 6

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain.

Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain

to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength,

and honour, and glory, and blessing. Revelation 5:12

This is an ascription of the praise to Jesus, thy Jesus, as the sacrifice for sin, the atonement of the church, the Saviour of His body.

Jesus who died for thy sins is worthy to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessings.

We can never ascribe too much to Jesus.

But He is worthy also to be BELIEVED, in perference to Satan, unbelief, the world or appearances; to be TRUSTED with all, for all, before all; to be LOVED, more than any other, in opposition to any other that would rival Him; to be obeyed, though He commands us to cut off a right hand, or pluck out the right eye; to be FOLLOWED, wherever He may lead us, through evil report and good report; to be PREFERRED to ease, pleasure, wealth, health to any thing and every thing.

Jesus is worthy to be our example, our confidant, our king, and our all.

He is worthy of all He requires, all we can give, all His people have done for Him, or suffered in His cause.

Believe His word, trust His grace, love His name, obey His commands, and prefer Him before all others.

Make it your daily business to endeavour to bring sinners to His feet; He is worthy of every effort you can make.

Jesus is worthy to receive

Honour and power divine,

And blessings more than we can give,

Be, Lord, for ever thine.

James Smith
