The Lion Is the Lamb -- Revelation 5:1-14 (Calvin Sodestrom, preaching) (22nd Sunday After Pentecost)

First Presbyterian Church of San Anselmo

In the heavenly throne room, John hears Lion but sees Lamb. Whether we recognize it or not, we are tempted to see God as a Lion, one who conquers through might and strength. But God's power and strength is most clearly expressed in the self-giving sacrificial love of the Lamb.
