The Joy of Belonging; The Privilege of Serving

Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer

December 28: Revelation 5-9

Scripture: Revelation (NIV) 5:5 Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed. He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”
6 Then I saw a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing at the center of the throne, encircled by the four living creatures and the elders…

Observation: As the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, he conquered the armies of the world. As the Lamb of God, he conquered death!

Application: The Lion, who is also the Lamb, lives in me. He helps me to live victorious and reign in this life. He helps me die to my own desires and live in humble submission to God. He teaches me how to use my authority for the benefit of others. He teaches me the joy of living for the benefit of others.

Prayer: Lord, I am your servant. What a joy is mine in being a part of your kingdom and what a privilege to be used for your glory. Amen
