From every tribe and language and people and nation.

Revelation 5:9-10, And they sang a new song, saying, “Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation, and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”

John saw that no one in the heavens or on the earth was worthy to open the scroll, and wept. And yet one of the elders pointed to Christ, the Lamb that was slain from before the foundation of the world as the only one who is worthy to open the scroll. He has given His own blood to ransom many from every nation to be His own people, to reign with Him. Have we given Him the praise He so richly deserves today?

We praise You and honor You Jesus, for You alone are worthy!
