A VISION OF WORSHIP
BY Rs*. WoHan Lawry
Rev. 4 and S. "Worth art
thou, our Lord and God, to
receive glory and honor and
power, for thou didst 'create
all things, and by wU they
existed and were created."
Rev. 4:11.
In our last lesson we noted
that Rev. 1:19 suggests a
threefold outline of the book:
(1) The past- what you have
seen, (2) the present- what is
now, (3) the future- what will
take place later. We now
begin our study of the third
division.
Seven seeps to be a key
number in Revelation. H
seems to be a complete or
perfect number. This division
has seven visions: (1) The
throne and the Lamb, 4:1-5:14
(2) The seven seals, 6:1-8:1;
(3) The seven trumpets, 8:2:
11-19; (4) The seven vkiow.
12:1-14:20; (5) The seven
bowls. 15:1-16: 21; (6) The
seven last scenes, 17:1-20:15;
end (7) The New Jerusalem,
21:1-22:21. So seven used ss
reference to the work of the
Trinity is very captivating.
. Oar topic today is Real
Worship. What is worship?
Who are those tnat can
experience real worship?
? The first requirement is to
recognize Christ as Savior by
faith, accepting Him and
proclaiming Him as Lord. We
then become sons of God.
When you do this the Holy
Spirit takes his abode in you
and your body becomes the
dwelling place or temple of
God. So as you study this
lesson you recognize his
greatness and become over
whelmed or emotionally to the
extent you proclaim, him wor
thy to serve and praise.
Join la carried to Heaveai
from earth. How la aot
explained, hot he did aa we
accept far whh God all things
are paaefale. On the thone one
sat with a book. Who coald
open the book? No man bet
the Lion at the tribe at Joda,
the root at David oonecated to
open it. He waa worthy, be
completed the covenant.
In verae 9 the proclamation
la made in Heaven that my
and your savior ia worthy and
due all our praise. Not only
vocal praise but our Uvea
should reveal him in action for
he has purchased us. God is
the author at all life. In him
we have our being. Let all the
earth worship.
Worship begins with songs,
prayer, teaching, preaching.
Dwing the offering it should
be a very important part of
worship when we return to
him part of what he has
blessed us with. The most and
essential thing is that our
hearts are centered on God.
Look at the description of
Christ, Lamb had seven boras
meaning perfect power, seven
eyes indicating perfect know
ledge. So Christ h omnipotent
?? 7
and omniscient. He is all we
need.
It is interesting to know our
prayers are kept in Heaven.
They seem to be incense. We
should be happy to pray often
and live prayerful. No time is
lost in sincere praying but
blessing and honoring God,
which results in a pleasing
and satisfaction to the parti
cipator.
Application of lesson for
our needs. The importance of
worship cannot be too strong
ly emphasized. It is appropri
ate that we begin each week
with worship on Sunday. But
we should also begin each day
with worship. We need to oe
with God before we find
ourselves with the world.
Do we really worship God
when we attend the worship
service on Sunday morning?
That question may sound
impertinent but it is really
very important.
When we take our plac-ein
in the pew we should bow our
head and let God's presence
become very real and preci
ous. (A good organ prelude of
a familiar hymn helps to
create a worshipped atmos
phere). Then we should join
others in worship, as we sing
and become fully involved in
the service.
Stamp collectors are known
at philatelists. The name
comes from two Greek
words, philos", meaning lov
ing. and atalos, meaning free
of tax or paid. Stamps are
signs that the postage, or
tax, hat been paid.
