Revelation 5:9 declares . . . And they sang a new song, saying:
We are reminded of the incredible sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross. Through his death and resurrection, he paid the price for our sins and made it possible for us to be reconciled with God.
This is a truth that we should never take for granted, and it should lead us to praise and worship him with our whole hearts.
When the apostle John wrote this passage, he was describing a vision of heaven. In this vision, he saw a great multitude of people from every tribe, language, people, and nation gathered around the throne of God.
As we think about what it means to be purchased by the blood of Jesus, we are reminded of our incredible worth and value to God. He loves us so much that he was willing to give his only son for us.
This is a truth that should fill us with awe and wonder. It should also lead us to live lives that are fully devoted to him, seeking to honor him in all that we do.
Finally, as we meditate on this verse, we are reminded of our mission as followers of Christ. We are called to be ambassadors of his love and grace, sharing the good news of the gospel with everyone we meet.
We have been purchased by his blood so that we can bring others into his kingdom. May we be faithful to this calling, always seeking to serve and love others as he has loved us.
