Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Revelation 5:6…”Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God (speaking symbolically of the completeness of God) sent out into all the earth. He came and took the scroll from the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. And when He had taken it, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb. Each one had a harp and they were the holding golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. And they sang a new song…”
This idea of them singing a new song to the Lamb is vital to our theology of the divinity of Christ. Those who do not embrace His divinity fail to see the correlation between chapters 4 and 5 in Revelation. In chapter 4, the four creatures and the elders are worshipping God the Father continually. In chapter 5, not only do they sing a new song of worship but that worship is now re-directed to the Lamb!
Jesus is the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world…He is fully divine and worthy of our worship…worship Him!
