Sermon Discussion Questions

  • This “scroll” is (probably) essentially the future and fate for all creation...what is to come and how God will redeem and renew.
  • So, why is there so much worry and lament in Revelation 5:1-4?
  • How do we try to “open the scroll” (control destiny)?
  • There are three powerful descriptions of Jesus here...talk about what each of these mean to you:
    • The Lion of Judah - Genesis 49:9
    • The Root of Jesse - Isaiah 11
    • The Slain Lamb - Isa 53:7 & John 1:29
  • How/Why is Jesus worthy to open the scroll?
  • Explain how the overarching theme for all of Scripture is in “Victory through Sacrifice”
  • How have you seen this historically in Scripture?
  • How does this give us a key to understand the rest of Revelation?
  • How does this summarize what it means to be a follower of Jesus?
  • Try to summarize this passage in 10 words or less.
