Revelation 5 Explained—Why Jesus Alone Is Worthy—The Lamb, the Book of Life, and True Worship

In Revelation 5, heaven asks a dramatic question: Who is worthy to open the scroll? The answer reveals the heart of the gospel—Jesus Christ, the Lamb who was slain, is worthy. In this sermon, we explore how the exaltation of Christ and the opening of the Book of Life reveal God’s plan of redemption and the global worship of the Lamb.

This Bible sermon walks through Revelation chapter 5 and explains why Jesus alone can open the scroll, why His sacrifice purchased people from every tribe, language, people, and nation, and why heaven erupts in worship. The passage also teaches what God the Father desires in His church: that Jesus Christ be glorified above all things.

You’ll see how Revelation 5 connects with the broader teaching of Scripture about salvation, the Book of Life, and the worship of Christ, and why the church’s mission is to welcome people into Christ’s kingdom so that more will worship Him.
