Hail the Lion of Judah!
Then I saw in the right hand of him who sat on the throne a scroll with writing on both sides and sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll or even look inside it. I wept and wept because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or look inside. Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.” Revelations 5:1-5
Nothing but shots of joy and praise come to my heart when I read this scripture! John is on the island of Patmos (Revelations 1:10) and God has reveled to him some of the things that will happen in heaven. The scroll that is being addressed in the scripture is the title deed to our life. When Adam and Eve sinned back in the garden they broke our covenant relationship with God. Satan actually became the owner of our lives. That is why scriptures say we are born in sin and shaped in iniquity (Psalm 51:5).
John weeps when it appears that no-one can open this title, but the elder tells him to look the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David has triumphed. The elder is talking about Jesus who is from the blood line of David and David is from the tribe of Judah and Judah is the fourth son of Jacob. Scripture says that Jesus came to the earth as lamb to the slaughter (Isaiah 53:7) but he returns to the earth the Lion of Judah because Jesus concurred death. He went down to Hades and took back the keys to our life! O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?[a]”For sin is the sting that results in death, and the law gives sin its power. But thank God! He gives us victory over sin and death through our Lord Jesus Christ (1Corinthians 15:55-57). Hail the Lion of Judah!!
In the US once a year we celebrate our independence from the British, which is a huge affair. The country has made this day a national holiday and American’s observe this day with all kinds of parades, fireworks and acknowledgements to those who made sacrifices to give us this freedom. However, there is nothing in this world that is more worthy of celebration than our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. He freed us from eternal damnation and offers us all eternal life! Hail the Lion of Judah!!! Amen!
