The Lion who conquered

Revelation 5:1–5

This week’s sermon on Revelation 5:1–5 asks a profound question: is a better world possible? John sees a sealed scroll—God’s plan for history—and weeps because no one is worthy to open it. But then comes hope: ‘Behold, the Lion of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered!’ Yet what John sees is startling—a slain Lamb. Drawing on the imagery of Exodus and Isaiah, this Lamb is both sacrifice and victor, the only one worthy to unfold God’s purposes and wipe away every tear. Join us as we behold the One who conquers through suffering and secures our future.

Revelation 5:1–5
