The Lamb of Revelation 5 is worthy because of his sinlessness. 1 John 3:5 says: “You know that He appeared in order to take away sins; and in Him there is no sin.”. He is also worthy because he sacrificed himself. Ephesians 5:2 tells us that “Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.”. Jesus is the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world. The nourishment that He gives is His immolated Body. In this way, the sense of communion and sacrifice is presented united. The breaking of the bread prepares the nourishment of the Christians, the sacrificed Body of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of the new Easter (cf. Apoc 5:6,13). A Vision of the Lamb, Part 1.
