Rev. {1:4} John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; {1:5} And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, {1:6} And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him [be] glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. {1:7} Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they [also] which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. {1:8} I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Grace be unto you and peace.
2 John {1:3} Grace be with you, mercy, [and] peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth
and love.
Grace be with you, mercy and peace.
2 Cor. {12:9} And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Christ's grace is sufficient for us.
Grace and peace from God which is the great I Am. Grace and peace from the seven Spirits- the symbolic number of perfection, seven -- the perfect Spirit. Grace from Jesus Christ- the faithful witness- Jesus was faithful to the end a witness of God's love to us all. The first begotten from the dead- Jesus, the first raised up to new life giving us the promise of new life with Him. The prince of the kings of the earth. Him that loved us, washed us from our sins in his own blood. Jesus who has made us kings and priest unto God, His Father to Him be glory and dominion forever. Behold he comes with clouds-- every eye shall see him.
EVERY EYE shall see him! When Christ returns every eye shall see him. They which pierced him! Think about it, every eye will see Jesus when He returns. The eyes of those who killed Him.
Such amazing love for us, such amazing grace. We are given so much from God, so much. We have to keep these words, we have to keep the knowledge of the love of Christ in us always. The truth is He will return and we can be among those who wail or among those who glory in His return. I want to be among those who glory in the return of my Savior, the Bringer of my peace, the One who gives me His grace, His peace.
May God be with us now and forever, by the grace and mercy of our Lord and our Savior. Help us Lord, help us keep Your words, give us understanding, the understanding we need to be Yours forever.
Amen.
