“Worthy is the Lamb” (Revelation 5:8-14) Great rescue mission (Introduction)

II. Worship unleashed (verses 8-14) Outburst of adoration New song “The purchase price is given: with Your blood. Sinners are purchased for God. Redemption is not aimless; they are bought so that they may belong to God.” Leon Morris

“Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body.” 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

“In Christ we behold the wisdom, goodness, love, grace, mercy and power of God all working together for the great work of our redemption and salvation. The wisdom and love of God are in themselves infinitely glorious. But we cannot see how glorious they are except in the redemption and salvation of the church which is achieved only in and by Christ.” John Owen

“In the cross we see the justice of God requiring a perfect payment for sins committed against a perfectly holy God. We see the holiness of God acting to judge the sin that spoiled His creation by punishing His own Son. We see the mercy of God in providing a substitute for those who should have been condemned. We see the wisdom of God in providing a glorious solution to an impossible dilemma.” Bob Kauflin “We never, therefore, move on from the cross of Christ, only into a more profound understanding of the cross.” David Prior

C. Incalculable choir of praise

III. O come let us adore Him! (Application)

“If there’s anything in life we should be passionate about, it’s the gospel. And I don’t mean passionate only about sharing it with others; I mean passionate in thinking about the gospel reflecting upon it, rejoicing in it, allowing it to color the way we look at the world and all of life.” C.J. Mahaney

No more let sins and sorrows grow, Nor thorns infest the ground; He comes to make His blessings flow Far as the curse is found, Far as the curse is found, Far as, far as, the curse is found. Isaac Watts
