In the middle of it all, in the midst of the throne, stands a Lamb.

The throne is the place of sovereignty. It’s where kings sit, where judgments are made, where dominion is displayed.

Yet!! John doesn’t see a lion sitting there. He doesn’t see a warrior or a ruler with a sword.

👀 He sees a Lamb...and not just any lamb, but one that has been slain👀

The center of heaven’s authority is a symbol of sacrifice and humility...

“in the midst of eternal glory” stands the Lamb who takes away the sin of the world

He is the Sacrifice who atoned for us.

He is the Savior who delivers us.

He is the Shepherd who sustains us.

At the center of the universe, the thing that captures all of heaven’s attention is the Lamb who died for sinners like us.

The blood of Jesus didn’t just open the door to heaven...it became the foundation of it.

Nothing in the Christian life makes sense apart from the cross.

All things begin with Christ’s sacrifice and all things are fulfilled through it.

2. The Lamb as SAVIOR — Our Deliverer

At the cross He dealt with our sin, and at the empty tomb He dealt with our adversary—this is Christus Victor.

The Lamb isn’t just slain...He’s standing.

Death couldn’t hold Him. The grave couldn’t keep Him. Sin couldn’t defeat Him.

He stands “in the midst of the throne,” alive and

This is the crazy part!!!

Jesus is not a ‘soft and safe’ shepherd of children’s

paintings...He is the Shepherd King who stands

between His flock and every threat, who strikes

down every enemy, and who leads us with courage

and strength.

❤ This is the heart of our Shepherd❤ He doesn’t just save us and leave us.

He walks with us, guides us, nourishes us, and restores us.

The Good Shepherd (John 10) lays down His life...but

He also takes it up again in power.

He doesn’t just carry lambs...He crushes wolves.

The Shepherd of Psalm 23 is also the King of Revelation 19.

Everything in heaven orbits around that center point.
