[Picture of Sporing event & John 3:16]
For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.
[Slide from previous sermon of Jesus at the door knocking]
Jesus is worthy to hold your impossibility!
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
A description of God’s throne.
A description of Jesus as an overcomer.
Scripture depicting Jesus on Is Father’s throne.
Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne.
And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald.
Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads.
Revelation 4:6 (NKJV)
And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back.
Revelation 4:8 (NKJV)
The four living creatures . . . do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!”
“You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”
Heaven does not overlook the overshadowed but makes them overcomers!
“You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”

But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”
Revelation 5:5 (NKJV)
But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has [overcome] to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”

Of the 404 verses in Revelation, over half, 278 contain references or allusions, direct or indirect, to the Old Testament.
But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.”
Then He came and took the scroll out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne.
And they sang a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the earth.”
The reason God only deserves our worship — He’s our Creator and Redeemer.
Revelation 5:12 (NKJV)
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”
Revelation 5:13 (NKJV)
“Blessing and honor and glory and power Be to Him who sits on the throne, And to the Lamb, forever and ever!”

John 7:39 (NKJV)
. . . the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Revelation 5:6 (NKJV)
. . . stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth.
Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear.
“When Christ passed within the heavenly gates, He was enthroned amidst the adoration of the angels. As soon as this ceremony was completed, the Holy Spirit descended upon the disciples in rich currents, and Christ was indeed glorified, even with the glory which He had with the Father from all eternity. The Pentecostal outpouring was Heaven’s communication that the Redeemer’s inauguration was accomplished. According to His promise He had sent the Holy Spirit from heaven to His followers as a token that He had, as priest and king, received all authority in heaven and on earth, and was the Anointed One over His people.” EG Whilte, The Acts of the Apostles, pg
Matthew 25:21 (NKJV)
‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
Heaven does not overlook the overshadowed but makes them overcomers!
