He can open the scroll.

Revelation 4:5, And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”

John wept to know more of God, to have His truth revealed. Christ has come, God who took on flesh, and has done what no other could do. He has conquered through the cross and raised to reveal to us what no one else can reveal. Christ is coming again, and all of our hope is in Him!

Thank You for revealing to us what flesh and blood can never reveal!
