Who Else (Live) - In the Bible [Verses & Devotional]
The song "Who Else (Live)" by Gateway Worship is a beautiful testament to the unique and unparalleled worthiness of Jesus Christ. It echoes the sentiments found in the book of Revelation, where John writes, "Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!" (Revelation 5:12). This verse, like the song, acknowledges the singular worthiness of Jesus, the Lamb of God, who sacrificed Himself for our salvation.
The lyrics of the song also resonate with the words of Paul in 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, "Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." This verse speaks to the second verse of the song, where it is said that God chose to make our hearts His dwelling place. It's a profound thought, that the infinite God of the ages would choose to dwell within us, healing our brokenness and showing us His glory.
The bridge of the song repeatedly refers to Jesus as the "Lamb of God, anointed one, who was and is and is to come." This is a direct reference to John 1:29, where John the Baptist sees Jesus and exclaims, "Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" and Revelation 1:8, where Jesus declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."
The song and these verses together paint a picture of a God who is infinitely worthy of our praise, not just because of His power and majesty, but because of His love and sacrifice. He is the Lamb of God who was slain for us, the Righteous One who shed His blood to prove the Father's love. He is the one who was, and is, and is to come, the eternal God who chose to dwell within us.
In light of this, I invite you to reflect on this question: How does the understanding of Jesus' unique worthiness and His choice to dwell within us influence your daily life? How does it shape your actions, your decisions, your relationships, and your worship? As you ponder these questions, may you be drawn into a deeper appreciation of the profound love and worthiness of our Lord Jesus Christ.
