“And they sang a new song, saying: ‘You are worthy…’” Revelation 5:9
I’m blessed to serve as Church School teacher fourth Sundays at New Hope Baptist Church. Last Sunday, following Holy Week ad Resurrection Sunday, we studied Revelation 5:1–10 under the theme Sing a New Song.
Revelation 5 reveals Jesus as the only one worthy to open the scroll — the only one worthy to fulfill God’s redemptive plan.
