In Revelation 4 and 5, the Bible gives us a spectacular image of what
worship in heaven looks like. In chapter 4, there are a variety of odd
creatures, a group of 24 elders and millions of angels all surrounding
the Holy throne of God, worshiping Him non-stop! Day and night, they
sing this very song... “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty!” (v.
8) They are worshiping God because He is the sovereign Creator- Lord
over all the earth!
Then in chapter 5, the Apostle John (who is being given this vision of
Heaven) witnesses the worship shift from the Creator to the Savior.
Jesus, represented as a lamb, emerges as the only One worthy to “open
the scroll” and exterminate sin forever! All of heaven then rejoices
because the battle is won! Jesus has paid the price for you and I to live
in peace forever with our Maker.
Jesus is the revelation of God in human flesh, born to give us salvation.
Sing to Him who alone is worthy of all glory, honor and praise!
