Carefully Think

  • what is the main idea of Revelation 5:6-10?
  • make a list of what you learn about Jesus that makes him distinct from everything else in the passage
  • list what you find to be expression of unique attributes (characteristics) of Jesus
  • What does the passage suggest about the centrality of redemption? In what ways?
  • How/why is Jesus uniquely worthy to take the scroll and open the seals?

Prayerfully Meditate

  • how should these attributes and positions of Jesus affect your prayers?
  • meditate on the lyrics to this Sunday”™s songs and consider what we are saying about the worthiness of Jesus
  • What aspects of our redemption are we singing about this Sunday?
  • How have you expressed your gratitude for God”™s saving grace to redeem you? How have  you taken it for granted?

Actively Respond

  • Read the passage with your family either Saturday evening or Sunday morning before coming to church.
  • Talk with your family, wife, or a friend about the various elements you see in the passage that make Jesus uniquely worthy
  • Pray for our gathering this Sunday morning.  How should this passage affect how you engage in praying, singing, listening, and fellowshipping?
  • Ask God to make you sensitive to those around you who have needs and who need to see how worthy Jesus is.
  • Ask God to make you sensitive in how you could contribute in conversation, prayer, and helping others through the day.
