Youth Sermon: The Lamb and The Scroll Of Redemption

Revelation 5: The Lion and the Lamb

Today we're diving into Revelation 5. It's like a scene from an epic movie. Picture this: a scroll in God's hand, sealed with seven seals, and no one can open it. But wait, there's a hero in the story, and it's Jesus!

Imagine you've got a locked box, and inside is the secret to your future - your dreams, your plans, everything. But there's a problem - you don't have the key. That's how John felt when he saw the scroll. But then, Jesus steps in.

Jesus, the Lion of Judah, is the only one who can unlock our future.

Jesus: Our Lion and Lamb

Jesus, the Lion of Judah, is the only one who can unlock our future. He's like the key to that locked box. He's got the power to conquer anything that comes our way.

Think about a lion. They're strong, fearless, and their roar can be heard for miles. That's Jesus. He's not afraid of anything, and His voice is louder than any problem we face.

But Jesus isn't just powerful, He's also wise. He's the Lamb of God, and He's got a perfect plan for our lives.

Picture a lamb. They're gentle, peaceful, and they follow their shepherd wherever he leads. That's Jesus. He's our shepherd, and He's leading us towards a future that's better than anything we can imagine.

Jesus is the Lion and the Lamb. He's got the power to conquer anything, and the wisdom to lead us in the right direction.

Our Part in the Story

So, what's our part in all of this? It's simple. We just have to follow Jesus, our shepherd. We have to trust that He's got the key to our future, and He's leading us in the right direction.

So, whether you're feeling like John, staring at a locked box and feeling hopeless, or you're ready to follow Jesus wherever He leads, remember this: Jesus is the Lion and the Lamb. He's got the power to conquer anything, and the wisdom to lead us in the right direction.
