THAT'S the Jesus I Serve

Revelation 5

11Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. 12In a loud voice they sang:
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!"
13Then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and on the sea, and all that is in them, singing:
"To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
for ever and ever!" 14The four living creatures said, "Amen," and the elders fell down and worshiped.


Quite a different reception for Jesus than the one we celebrate this time of year. No shepherds, no manger, no baby. Jesus in His glory is surrounded by countless angels, the elders who sit in the Throne Room of Heaven, and the winged creatures covered with eyes, and they all proclaim Jesus is worthy to receive power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and praise! Now THAT’S the Jesus I serve! To Him be praise and honor and glory forever and ever. Amen!
