Backstage Pass

Jul 19, 2026    Jerome Bullard

This powerful message takes us deep into Revelation chapter 5, where we discover what it means to have a 'backstage pass' to heaven's mysteries. We explore the profound moment when John weeps because no one is found worthy to open the sealed scroll—until the elders see the Lion of Judah while John sees a Lamb. This dual vision reveals something transformative about worship: it elevates our perspective from earthly limitation to heavenly insight. Through worship, we're seated in heavenly places with Christ, able to see beyond what the natural eye perceives. The message challenges us to understand that we possess knowledge the world doesn't have—we know the script, we know the ending. Satan himself suffers from spiritual nearsightedness, unable to comprehend the mysteries of the gospel. Had he understood that crucifying Christ would lead to his own defeat, he never would have orchestrated it. We learn that when Jesus knocked on hell's door after His crucifixion, Satan had to surrender the keys of death and hell. This wasn't just ancient history—it's our present reality. We have access to divine wisdom that even angels desired to understand, and it's available through the indwelling Holy Spirit. In these last days of deception and confusion, our worship isn't optional—it's essential for maintaining spiritual clarity and insight.
