Welcome to a year in the Bible with Daily Grace.

This year, we want to spend a few minutes with you every day walking through our study, Christ and all of Scripture.

Each week we will dive deeply into two passages of Scripture, one from the Old Testament and one from the New,

seeing how they connect and point to Jesus.

Whether you are doing the study yourself or just following along with us here, we are

hopeful that through studying these passages each week, you will see how Christ is not only present

throughout the entire biblical story, but the center of it. Hey everyone, welcome back to another

episode of the Year in the Bible podcast. My name is Alexa and I'm joined with my co-host, Beth.

Hi, friends. Today we were asked to mark up this week's New Testament passage, which is Revelation

5-5. So I'm going to go ahead and read that passage for you today. So Revelation 5-5 says,

Then one of the elders said to me, do not weep. Look, the lion from the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered so that he is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.

Thanks for reading that for us, Beth. I would love to hear from you how this annotation day went for you.

Yeah, it was really good. Answering the third prompt in particular was super helpful.

That prompt had us underline any descriptions of the person that was being talked about in this

verse. So I underlined the phrases, the lion from the tribe of Judah. I underlined the root of

David. I underlined that this person has conquered, and then I underlined the last part,

which is that he is able to open the scroll.

So all of these descriptions point us to Christ.

They not only explain who he is, but they also explain what it is that he is able to do because

of who he is.

Yeah, there's a lot to probably impact from those descriptions that you just mentioned, Beth.

Can you say more about what those phrases mean?
