Get Ready...homework!

Hello everyone!

The scripture for Saturday is Rev 5. Let's all look at this song in verses 9 and 10:
"You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
because you were slain,
and with your blood you purchased men for God
from every tribe and language and people and nation.
You have made them to be a kingdom and priests to serve our God,
and they will reign on the earth."

We know the main theme is: he is worthy to rule because of what he has done. So let's develope that.
1. He is worthy...so who is or what is not worthy? Why not?
For example...worldly honor is not worthy of my worship...why not? because it takes my beauty and gives me ashes...but he...you know the rest.
2. What did he do to redeem us that no one else could do??
Examples: Isaiah 53, Philippians 2; Isaiah 11; Psalm 22
3. He has redeemed us to be kings and priests...so what were we before? How did he do it? How does he continue to do it? Why does he do it?
Examples: we were beaten, bruised and left for dead...we were far away...we were his enemies, etc.

These are just some questions to help us go a little deeper. Everyone (Kelly, Sarah, Diane, Marla, Molly, John, Fred, Shane, or anyone else) try and post an answer (or another question) each day between now and Saturday. Let's see where we end up.
