The Story Behind the Song – Episode 5 – The Lamb is Worthy

When you met Stephen, you would walk away knowing he had a great passion for anything he invested in. He loved his family, the Lord, and spreading the gospel worldwide. He taught me so much as a person and a father, and instilled in me a love for people from all walks of life. He and I shared a passion for amazing food, and unique experiences. We had many great conversations over what I believe was one of his favorite foods – a good taco. When my wife and I got engaged, Stephen was there with his camera, covertly taking pictures from the bushes. When we got married, he agreed to come and be a part of our wedding and asked for nothing in return. Stephen would visit the town where I currently minister and always get together over a good taco and even better conversation.

Tragically his life was taken away far sooner than any of us expected. When I received word of what had happened, I was in shock alongside everyone who knew and loved Stephen. In the days that passed, I could not help but dwell on one of his favorite phrases, “May the Lamb that was slain receive the reward of His suffering.” These were the words the Moravian missionaries uttered as they sailed away from everyone they knew and loved to spread the gospel across the globe. I pray the words of this song honor his memory and ignite a passion in others to share the good news of Christ regardless of the cost. He is Worthy.
