DAILY READINGS: Exodus 9:1-35; Psalm 40:1-41:13; Acts 4:1-31
Who is worthy?…No man was found worthy…Thou art worthy… Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Revelation 5:2, 4, 9, 12
“Worthy” is clearly a key word in this passage. A great question is asked,”Who is worthy?” The answer—no one. Upon finding no man worthy, John wept. It is the only case on record of anyone weeping in Heaven! He was told, “Weep not” (Rev. 5:5). All heaven knows and now by God’s grace so do we: the Lamb of God is the only worthy One. All heaven adores Him, and we who believe join in here below. Soon every knee will bow to Him, but our joy now is to proclaim, “Thou art worthy…for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood” (Rev. 5:9). —Carl Knott
Jesus, our Lord, with what joy we adore Thee,
Chanting our praise to Thyself on the throne! —H. d’A Champney
