Say I saw it in The Shopper

Heart Smart RICHARD ZEKVELD When you hit a violent patch of turbulence, it is reassuring to hear the captain’s calming voice from the controls. This is the book of Revelation in the Bible for God’s children. In Revelation 5, the King of the Universe holds in his right hand a scroll, covered in writing. That scroll contains his perfect plan for moving history forward, from that moment until the end of time. The scroll is sealed with seven seals – seven globs of wax imprinted with the King’s signature. Only authorized personnel can open a top-secret document sealed by the king. The King is looking for the right general to open the scroll and execute his perfect plan for world history. No one steps forward. John, the author of Revelation, is distraught. But an elder reassures him that the great Lion-King is worthy to take the scroll and execute the High King’s plan for history.
When John opens his eyes, he sees the most un-lionlike of creatures: a lamb who had been slaughtered. In fact, the Lion had come to earth as a lamb to absorb the sum-total of evil in himself and destroy its hold on us and our world once for all with his sacrificial death. He then rose again to take the reins of history and move God’s plan forward. As the Lion-Lamb grabs the scroll, the creation-chorus erupts, “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, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth” (Revelation 5:9b-10, ESV). May the Lion-King be our confidence in these turbulent times. Richard Zekveld Pastor, Covenant Fellowship Church cfcsh.org
