What John Saw Overcame Him

2 Behold, a Throne set in heaven, and One sat on the Throne. (Rev. 4:2)

A. Behold! What John saw overcame him. We want to feel what John felt. John was awed at seeing a Throne before him. John’s spirit trembles as he is overloaded.

B. When John says, “Behold” he is seeing the purpose of his existence and the reason for his suffering and struggle. He is face to face with his purpose. It overwhelms him as the reason of his very being is before him. Our purpose is found in understanding the Throne and One sitting upon it. Our reason for being and our very relevance is only seen as we connect with this One.

25 He gives to all life…28 in Him we live and move and have our being… (Acts 17:25-28)

36 For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things… (Rom. 11:36)

11 "You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created." (Rev. 4:11)

9 Worthy are You to take the book...for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. (Rev. 5:9; NAS)
