A Life Worth Living by Joseph Prince Read Free Book Online

you? Are you placing Him in the centre of your career, your marriage, your business?
    John shows us in Revelation 5:5–6 that Jesus, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, has prevailed:
5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” 6 And I looked, and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth .
    It is important to note that seven is the number of perfection in the Bible. So when we see that the Lamb has seven horns and seven eyes, it symbolises perfect authority and perfect discernment. Jesus is both Lion and Lamb, God and Man, majesty and meekness!
    Verses 11–13 continue:
11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice: “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and honour and glory and blessing!”
13 And every creature which is in heaven and on the earth and under the earth and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, I heard saying: “Blessing and honour and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb, forever and ever!”
    Here, we see that though Jesus is high and lifted up, He is also humble. Revelation 1:13 (KJV) shows us how humble He is. John says that he saw Jesus wearing “ a golden girdle” . Now, a girdle is a servant’s towel. A servant uses a girdle to serve. Even when Jesus was on earth, He washed His disciples’ feet. (John 13:3–12) Even though Jesus has “ power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing” (Revelation 5:12), He still wants to serve us! Why? Because He loves us so much.
    That’s why Jesus deserves to be the centrepiece of our lives. And when He does, we become held together, integrated with Him, full of His love and rich towards Him. When He is the centrepiece of our lives, we are constantly conscious of His presence in our lives, we have a close relationship with Him, we are led by Him, and we find meaning and purpose in life. That, brothers and sisters, is truly a life worth living!
    Start Living Now
    Friend, do you want to start living the abundant life that Jesus meant for you to live? You may say, “Yes, but how do I start?” God wants you to understand that the law of the old covenant makes you conscious of self — of past regrets, of your failures, of your inabilities. But the grace of the new covenant makes you conscious of Christ. And when you become conscious of Jesus, conscious of His love for you, conscious of all that He has done for you at the cross, placing Him in the centre of your life is the only thing you’ll want to do. So start looking to Jesus. Start focusing on His beauty and start enjoying His love. That’s how you live a life worth living!
    Now, go and live it! And you will experience His thousand-fold blessing!

Salvation Prayer

Lord Jesus, thank You for loving me and dying for me on the cross. Your precious blood washes me clean of every sin. You are my Lord and my Savior, now and forever. I believe that You rose from the dead and that You are alive today. Because of Your finished work, I am now a beloved child of God and heaven is my home. Thank You for giving me eternal life, and filling my heart with Your peace and joy. Amen .
