　　今天我們看到施恩寶座以及神和羔羊的寶座，也聽到由天堂詩班唱出施恩寶座以及神和羔羊的頌歌，我的靈魂啊！當你靠近施恩寶座時，你曾想過耶穌為了設此寶座付出了何等大的代價，當你需要的時候你也確知可從寶座支取恩典和幫助，故你當俯伏敬拜！

「Unto Him that sitteth on the Throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever.」 – REV. v. 13.

In chapters four and five of The Revelation we are shown the difference between the Throne of God the Creator, and the Throne of Grace. In chapter four John saw, 「a Throne set in heaven, and One sitting upon the Throne; and He that sat was to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardius.」 There was no definite form, but the shining light of precious stones. Round about the Throne were four beasts, 「and they rest not night and day, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.」 The four-and-twenty elders fall down before Him, saying, 「Worthy art Thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honour and the power: for Thou didst create all things, and because of Thy will they were, and were created.」 Here we have the Throne of God, the Almighty Creator!

In chapter five we read: 「I saw in the midst of the Throne a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, and the four living creatures and the four-and-twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, and they using a new song, saying, Worthy art Thou, for Thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with Thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people.」 Then thousands and thousands of angels cried: 「Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom, and might, and honour, and glory, and blessing. And every created thing, which is in the heaven and on the earth, heard I saying, Unto Him that sitteth on the Throne, and unto the Lamb, be the blessing, and the honour, and the glory, and the dominion, for ever and ever.」
