Sermons on Worthiness

Trumped By An Angel

Not even the angels (as great as they may be) can hold a candle to Jesus as THE Son.  We will see in this week’s passage how Angels are inferior to the Son. It is believed by many that angel worship was an issue within the Roman Empire during the 1st Century, which could partly be why the writer of Hebrews addresses the matter. While such angel worship may not be a similar problem in our own time and place, we are kidding ourselves if we think that our own affections never drift toward the creation rather than its Creator. So, there are wonderful reminders that no one has the position and worth of Jesus as the one, unique Son! 

The Worthy One

Though the “book” in this passage is prominent, the Lamb’s worthiness to open it is more so! That’s where we will go this Sunday morning. John mourns the fact that no one is worthy to open the book, but then he is told there actually is One who is worthy! As we look closer at what John sees it becomes clearer that there are significant ways in which the Lamb is indeed the One who is worthy.
