Pastor Marshall Ochs | August 28, 2022
In this message, Pastor Marshall teaches from Revelation 4-5. These chapters cover a throne room scene where John beholds the worship of heaven and the worthy lamb. Representatives of all creation and all God’s people join in worship and bow down to the lamb who was slain. This scene is a blueprint for worship and the model for what all the earth will look like at the second coming of Jesus.

Reflect
Are you willing to take Jesus’s invitation, and ask Him to show you the heavenly perspective of what is happening in your life and in the world around you?
The 24 elders on the 24 thrones represent all God’s people for all time. No one is stressed or worrying, but rather calm, seated and having total confidence in God. Pray and ask the Lord to reveal areas of your life in which you have allowed worry or stress to supersede your complete confidence in Him.
Those seated on their thrones rise up and cast down their crowns as an act of worship and surrender. What do you need to rise up from or cast down in order to worship the One True God?
In Revelation 5, the lamb is a representation of Jesus. He humbled Himself to the point of death on a cross and set the example for His people to follow. Are you willing to humble yourself, be submitted to God’s authority and do what He asks of you?
Ask the Lord to give you the desire to be deeper in His word, spend time in prayer and seek to have His heavenly perspective. We must not make this world and it’s comforts our focus, but rather live with eternity in mind.
