The Upside Down Kingdom: The Slain Savior

Revelation 5:1-7 portrays a powerful vision of God’s throne room, emphasizing the sovereignty of Christ as the only one worthy to execute God’s divine plan. A mighty angel asks, “Who is worthy to open the scroll?” but no one in heaven or on earth is found worthy, leading John to weep. This passage underscores Christ’s identity as the conquering yet sacrificial Savior, His ultimate authority over history, and the hope He brings to a broken world.
