Worthy Is the Lamb
A Heavenly Anthem of Praise and Redemption
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!”
— Revelation 5:12 (NIV)
These words, proclaimed by countless angels and saints around the throne of God, echo through heaven and earth: Worthy is the Lamb. This declaration is not only a heavenly anthem; it is the heartbeat of every believer who has experienced the life-changing power of Jesus Christ.
Who Is the Lamb?
In the Bible, “the Lamb” refers to Jesus Christ, the perfect and spotless sacrifice who gave His life to take away the sins of the world. Just as lambs were offered in the Old Testament for atonement, Jesus became the Lamb of God who fulfilled all sacrifices through His death on the cross.
John the Baptist declared:
“Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”
— John 1:29 (NIV)
This Lamb is not weak or powerless. He is both sacrificial and victorious—the One who conquered death and now reigns in glory.
Why Is the Lamb Worthy?
-
Because He Was Slain for Us
Jesus willingly laid down His life, shedding His innocent blood to redeem humanity.
“With Your blood You purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation.”
— Revelation 5:9 (NIV) -
Because He Rose in Victory
The grave could not hold the Lamb. He is alive forevermore! His resurrection proves His power over sin, death, and hell. -
Because He Is Exalted
Now seated at the right hand of God, the Lamb is crowned with glory and honor.
“God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name.”
— Philippians 2:9 (NIV)
The Song of Heaven
In Revelation 5, we are given a glimpse of heavenly worship. Angels and elders, creatures and nations, join together in unison to declare:
“To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be praise and honor and glory and power,
forever and ever!”
— Revelation 5:13 (NIV)
This is the eternal praise that never ends—and it starts now in our hearts when we recognize the matchless worth of Jesus.
Living in Response
When we say “Worthy is the Lamb,” we are not just singing—we are surrendering. His worth calls us to:
-
Worship with reverence
-
Live with holiness
-
Proclaim the Gospel boldly
-
Offer our lives in devotion
