The One who is worthy of opening the scroll in Revelation 5 is also worthy of our praise and worship. Known as the risen Lamb who was slain and the promised Lion of Judah, He has redeemed us from all the nations and it is our honor to glorify Him with all of His creation.

JESUS IS A LAMB AND A LION

As a lamb, Christ was our sin offering.

As a lamb, He was born in a place

where lambs were born.

As a lamb, he was laid in a stone feeding trough, where sheep ate.

And as a lamb, He visited by shepherds

who were in the fields watching sheep

who would one day be offered as sacrifices.

As a lamb, He depended on His parents who were

His assigned shepherds, but like a lion, the lamb boldly reasoned with theologians at 12 years of age.

As a lamb, He was tempted in the wilderness

but like a lion, God’s lamb overcame the tempter

with His voice, “Get behind me satan!”

As a lamb, He was sleeping during a storm

but like a lion the lamb of God stood up

and said, “Peace be still.”

As a lamb, He was beaten with a whip, but like a lion he made a whip and used it to cleanse the temple.

As a lamb, He died as our sacrifice but like a lion,

He conquered death.

As a lamb, He wept at Lazarus’ tomb

but like a lion He roared, “Come forth!”

As a lamb, He allowed people to touch Him,

but like a lion He boldly cast out demons.

As a lamb, He was led to the slaughter for us

but like a lion, the lamb of God arose from the dead.

He came as a lamb, slain from the world’s foundation, but He’s coming back as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

Those messianic promises that were not yet fulfilled,

He will fulfill as the Lion of Judah.

Sam Storms says, “The Lion in whom we find unimpeachable authority is also the Lamb who embodies humility and meekness in the highest degree.”

He continues, “The Lion who wields power and strength that none can resist is also the Lamb who walked the earth in weakness and suffering, resisting none.”

The same Jesus!

He who laid down all His rights,

has now received all authority.

This lion-like Lamb is also the lamb-like Lion,

most worthy of our best praise and selfless worship, undying devotion and sacrificial service.

Jesus is a Lamb and a Lion.
