The Super Bowl of Worship

I couldn't help thinking today: what is the super bowl of worship?  My mind went immediately to John's description of heaven in Revelation 5, especially after the singing of "Revelation Song" by the church this morning.  We find here that you don't have to worry about tickets for this super bowl.  The price of admission was paid in full by the Lamb of God.  Picking up in v. 8, "And when he had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints."  Preparation for this grand gathering is not the media hype or logistical companies' preparation, but "prayers of the saints".  That's why we need to take seriously the preparation of prayer for all our worship, even now.  "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.'"  You won't find any song at the super bowl that begins to compare with "the new song" in worship.  "Then I looked and I heard around the throne and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads and thousand of thousand, saying with a loud voice, 'Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!'"  Nothing that happens at the super bowl today can begin to compare with that, and the super bowl will be over in hours, but the worship at the throne will go on for eternity!  "To Him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!"  mjm
