Dear Father God,

I join with all of Heaven and with all followers of Jesus on the earth in proclaiming...

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

To receive power and riches and wisdom,

And strength and honor and glory and blessing!

Revelation 5:12

Worthy is the spotless, sinless Lamb of God, my Lord Jesus...

    — whose side was pierced,

    — whose heart was broken,

    — who left heaven and was separated from The

            Father's presence,

    — who experienced darkness and suffering..… for me.

There are those who war against Jesus.

I thank You that You have called and chosen me, and I will be faithful to You...

These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”  Revelation 17:14

Worthy is the Lamb whose loving and obedient sacrifice redeemed me and gives me hope for today, for everyday, and for my future.

My heart swells in worship of Jesus my Savior.

Worthy is the Lamb.

I am truly grateful.

In the powerful name of Jesus I come to
You Father in prayer,

Amen.

Jesus: The Lamb Slain
from the Foundation of the World

All who dwell on the earth will worship him,

whose names have not been written in the Book of Life

of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.   Revelation 13:8

As Israel faced the first Passover, “Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, ‘Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families’” (Exodus 12:21). Each father placed his hands on the head of the lamb to confess the sins of each family member. Their sins were transferred to the lamb, and then the lamb was killed; the lamb died instead of the family. Jesus was “the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).  Since Jesus is called “God’s Lamb,” this suggests God sent His Lamb—His Son—to die for the sin of the world. He is the Lamb Slain from the Foundation of the World.

Lord Jesus, thank You for dying for the world, but thank You most of all for dying for me.

It was a historical event when God’s Son died on the cross. But God doesn’t keep time as humans keep time. God is eternal, without time. He has always loved us and always planned to give His son to die for our sins. Jesus is the Lamb Slain From the Foundation of the World. At another place, the Bible reminds us, “You were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold, . . . but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb . . .foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you”
(1 Peter 1:18-20).

Lord Jesus, thank You for planning my salvation from the foundation of the world.  Thank You for coming to die on a cross for me.   Amen.
