Worthy is the Lamb

When I was reading 1Samuel 6:20 it says, "Who can stand in the presence
of the Lord, this holy God?
The words rang into my ears and led me to looked up Revelation 5
"Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?"
  But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth could open the scroll
  or look inside.  (v.2-5)
  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."
  Wow! What a great passage of the Scripture is this! Another mystery word
  in reference to Jesus Christ!
  Revelation 5:9, And they sing a new song:
                  "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals,
                   because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men
                   for God from every tribe and language and people and nation."

                 "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth
                  and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" (v.12)
         
  
 
Jesus Christ, the Great High Priest!
Day after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and
again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins.
But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down
at the right hand of God. Since that time he waits for his enemies to be made
his footstool, because by the one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those
who are being made holy. (Hebrew 10:11-14)

Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has gone through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess.
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but we have one who has been temped in every way,
just as we are--yet was without sin.
Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may
receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Heb.4:14-16)
