Why Do We Want The Book Opened?

 

Today's Verse is Revelation 5:4

And I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon. 

    When I first read this with some understanding, both of the verse and of what was to follow, my thinking was: “Why would anyone desire to open this book and all of the terrible things that are to follow?” I do not think I was saved at the time. However, this is one of the reasons that Jesus Christ, the Lamb that taketh away the sin of the world, is worthy, because only the one that has already borne the full weight of sin, yet being sinless himself, is worthy to bring the judgment of God upon the world that has refused such a great salvation. Yet, if this book remains unopened, sin shall remain cursing the world. For this reason, let us pray that the one that is worthy to open this book does not delay, for the sooner it is opened, the sooner we shall see his return when he shall reign on the earth in Righteousness. Amen.

To God be the Glory
