Alpha/Omega: Revelation 4 Family Devotional

Feb 23, 2021 | By Marsella Evans

I remember loving the series The Chronicles of Narnia when I first read them as a kid, and I still enjoy them now. The movies are fantastic too, and the castle Lucy, Peter, Susan, and Edmund rule from is breathtaking. The scene of celebration when the four rulers are crowned present a glorious throne room full of color and joy.

That picture of power and beauty is what I always pictured the throne room of God like, and He certainly will be celebrated and honored. The difference between the movie and heaven is that God is infinitely more praiseworthy and powerful than we could comprehend or put into a movie.

God is bigger and better than we can understand, and He wants us to have a glimpse of all that He is. The greatest joy of knowing God is getting to worship Him and bring Him glory. He calls us to worship Him now, but one day we will know Him in His fullness and worship endlessly the way that He deserves to be worshipped.

  • Worshipping God in heaven will be mind-blowing!
  • It is who we worship that matters, not how we worship.
  • Everything God made is for the purpose of worshipping Him.

Read

Read Revelation 4. With younger children, read Revelation 4:2, 10-11

ASK Is God’s throne room more like our Church or the throne rooms we see on T. V.? What is everyone doing in heaven?

Activity

Grab some construction paper and cut it into the strips with triangles coming up from one edge. Tape it in a circle around everyone’s head to make a crown. Then draw a throne together, and tape it on the wall, putting your crowns underneath it.

SAY God is the only true King and deserves all of our worship. We are putting our crowns underneath the throne to remind us to put God first just like everyone will together in heaven.

DISCUSS Talk about the greatness of God and identify the crowns He has given your family in this stage of life. Set a goal to actively present those crowns to the Lord this week.

ASK What is it about God that makes Him our King?

Listen

Listen to the song Revelation Song by Kari Jobe

ASK What does it mean that God is holy? Have you ever felt shaken by God?
