REVELATION - GREETINGS AND DOXOLOGY

Revelation 1:4-8

4 John, to the Seven Churches in the province of Asia:

Grace and peace to you from Him who is,

And who was, and who is to come,

And from the Seven Spirits before His Throne,

And from Jesus Christ, who is the Faithful Witness,

The Firstborn from the dead,

And the Ruler of the Kings of the Earth.

5 TO HIM WHO LOVES US

And has freed us from our sins by His blood,

6 AND MADE US TO BE A KINGDOM AND PRIESTS

To serve His God and Father--

To Him be Glory and Power for ever and ever! Amen.

7 Look, He is coming with the clouds,

And every eye will see Him,

Even those who pierced Him;

AND ALL THE PEOPLE OF THE EARTH WILL MOURN

Because of Him.

So shall it be! Amen.

8 “I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA,”

Says the Lord God,

“Who is, and who was, and who is to come,

THE ALMIGHTY.”

(Revelation 1:4-8)

Everything that Christ Jesus has done from the beginning

Is out of His love for His people, His Bride.

He was Slain from the Foundation of the Earth;

Before Creation took place,

He knew the Price that He would have to Pay

To Redeem His Bride.

It would Cost Him His Life,

Because the only thing

That could Redeem His Bride was His own blood.

After Adam and Eve fell from the grace of God

All humankind was born into Sin

And the only effective Agent that could wash away this Sin

Was the blood of the only sinless One, Christ Jesus.

Those who allow Christ Jesus to wash away their Sins

Are brought into the Everlasting Kingdom of God;

They are made to be Priests in that Kingdom;

To serve the One True God and Father of All.

To Him there is Glory and Power for ever and ever! Amen.

As there has been from Eternity Past.

Soon, the Earth will Mourn at the return of Christ Jesus,

They will have rejected Him and know their destination.
