Worthy is the Lamb, part 2

In case you want to trace the theme of Christ as Creator and the First and the Last, as well as Christ having attributes that pertain only to God, here are the passages that came up as I studied (and I know this isn't an exhaustive list on the subject):

- Exodus 23:20-23 – only God can forgive sins (read also Luke 7:47-50 & Mark 2:5-12)

- Isaiah 48:12-16 – The Creator is the First and the Last.  He is sent by the LORD God and His Spirit. 

- Jeremiah 23:5-6 – The LORD says that one is coming who will be called “THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.” 

A quick scan of Revelation reveals abundant testimony concerning Christ, the First and the Last, the Eternal One:
- Revelation 1:4-8
- Revelation 1:10-11, 17-18
- Revelation 4:8-11
- Revelation 11:15-17
- Revelation 14:7
- Revelation 16:5-7
- Revelation 19:1-2 & 11
- Revelation 21:6
- Revelation 22:12-13 & 20

Be encouraged and challenged by the truth of God’s Word!
