In Revelation 1:4-6, John breaks out in song, forgetting verbs or complete sentences, just bursting out in praise of Jesus.
He is saying: Jesus loved us so much, he sacrificed himself for our sins. This makes him both priest and sacrifice. This self-sacrifice established the kingdom of God, which we may all enter in due to the forgiveness of our sins.
The Passover lamb is alluded to here.
