In today’s reading from Revelation 5, the song of praise to God builds to a crescendo. The attendants around his throne begin the song, the angels join it, and every creature in heaven and on earth explodes with worship to God and to the Lamb for the gift of salvation. This is what we were made for, and this is the purpose for which the Lamb has purchased us by His blood. In a world in which we can get distracted by so many lesser tunes, none of which are life-giving, God’s Word teaches us the true song of all things, sung to the true Savior and King of the world and of our lives: “To Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, be blessing and honor and glory and dominion forever and ever.”

May God bless our students who publicly confirm their faith in Christ today!
