Today’s reading is Revelation 5.
In this chapter we read that no one was worthy to open the sealed scroll held by God the Father on the throne, except for the Lamb, Jesus, who was slain for all of us (Revelation 5:5). Right now, there are wars between nations with much talk and debate about those wars, as well as borders. Regardless of where you stand on these current events and issues, it’s important to remember these verses teach us Jesus died for every tribe, language, people, and nation. Jesus came for everyone who will believe and give their heart and life to Him.
“And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation,”
Revelation 5:9
As we watch and read the news, let us pray for Christians everywhere, and let us pray for the Holy Spirit to reach those who are not yet Christ followers. Let us remember that God is sovereign and the Holy Spirit has no boundaries and will not stop until every tribe, language, people, and nation know Jesus and confess that He is their Lord and Savior.
