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?
Lyrics for Sunday's Songs
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.
