Part 8: Worthy is the Lamb
Let’s get caught up in the praise that never ends in the courts of Heaven. Jesus is worth every bit of it for so many reasons. But notice what this doxology focuses on: He worthy because He was slain. The most humiliating and awful death imaginable is the reason for our highest praise to Him. Hallelujah for the cross.
If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
