Eyewitness to Heaven!

Listen to this blog.

In the right hand of the one sitting on the throne I saw a scroll that had writing on the inside and on the outside. And it was sealed in seven places.  I saw a mighty angel ask with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?”

No one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it. I cried hard because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it.

Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying and look! The one who is called both the ‘Lion from the Tribe of Judah’ and ‘King David's Great Descendant’ has won the victory. He will open the scroll and its seven seals.”

Then I looked and saw a Lamb standing in the center of the throne surrounded by the four living creatures and the elders. The Lamb looked as if it had once been killed. It had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent out to all the earth.
The Lamb went over and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who sat on the throne. After he had taken it, the four living creatures and the 24 elders knelt down before him. Each of them had a harp and a gold bowl full of incense, which are the prayers of God's people.

Then they sang a new song,
“You are worthy
to receive the scroll
and open its seals,
because you were killed.
And with your own blood
you bought for God
people from every tribe,
language, nation, and race.

You let them become kings
and serve God as priests,
and they will rule on earth.”

Revelation 5:1-10

Is reading the Bible sometimes a boring experience? Is it just a bunch of old stories and you have heard them all many times before? So why read it all over again and again? These verses in Revelation tell us why.

When you let Jesus "open the scroll" and reveal to your heart what the Bible is saying you will find it more exciting than the best thriller novel and more relevant than this morning's newspaper!

The process is this: God appointed Words for us to know, the Holy Spirit inspired men to write them down, and Jesus breaks the seal on them in your life!

It is like when a child goes from hearing the words you are speaking to understanding the meaning and intent of those words. Eternity is like a sunset and the Bible describes it well, but Jesus is right now seeing everything that the Bible talks about. Jesus is an eyewitness to Heaven and when He speaks God's Word to your heart it is truly almost like being there yourself!

"Lord Jesus, let my heart receive what Your eyes can see. Help me look beyond the veil of this life into the Glory of Eternity with You! Break the seals today!"
