Who is

“Write to the angel of the church in Laodicea:

“The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator

of God’s creation says:

His offspring will continue forever,
his throne like the sun before Me,

Since I have made him a witness to the peoples,
a leader and commander for the peoples,

“I assure you: We speak what We know and We testify to what We have seen, but you do not accept Our testimony.

“Even if I testify about Myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.

“You are a king then?” Pilate asked.

“You say that I’m a king,” Jesus replied. “I was born for this, and I have come into the world for this: to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth listens to My voice.”

In the presence of God, who gives life to all, and of Christ Jesus, who gave a good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you

For there are three that testify:

And the first

that the Messiah must suffer, and that as the first to rise from the dead, He would proclaim light to our people and to the Gentiles.”

But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

He is also the head of the body, the church;
He is the beginning,
the firstborn from the dead,
so that He might come to have
first place in everything.

And the prince

The seventh angel blew his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven saying:

The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom
of our Lord and of His Messiah,
and He will reign forever and ever!

These will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them because He is Lord of lords and King of kings. Those with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.”

And He has a name written on His robe and on His thigh:

KING OF KINGS

AND LORD OF LORDS.

Let all kings bow down to him,
all nations serve him.

I will also make him My firstborn,
greatest of the kings of the earth.

It is by me that kings reign
and rulers enact just law;

So the king gave orders to summon the diviner-priests, mediums, sorcerers, and Chaldeans

to tell the king his dreams. When they came and stood before the king,

He was given authority to rule,
and glory, and a kingdom;
so that those of every people,
nation, and language
should serve Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that will not pass away,
and His kingdom is one
that will not be destroyed.

Then Jesus came near and said to them, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

He demonstrated this power in the Messiah by raising Him from the dead and seating Him at His right hand in the heavens—

God will bring this about in His own time. He is

the blessed and only Sovereign,
the King of kings,
and the Lord of lords,

Him

But because the Lord loved you and kept the oath He swore to your fathers, He brought you out with a strong hand and redeemed you from the place of slavery, from the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt.

Yet the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam, but He turned the curse into a blessing for you because the Lord your God loves you.

Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

“As the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you. Remain in My love.

No, in all these things we are more than victorious
through Him who loved us.

and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love that He had for us,

And walk in love, as the Messiah also loved us and gave Himself for us, a sacrificial and fragrant offering to God.

Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Aaron and his sons must wash their hands and feet from the basin.

Place the basin between the tent of meeting and the altar, and put water in it.

The priest is to take some of the blood from the restitution offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

I will purify them from all the wrongs they have committed against Me, and I will forgive all the wrongs they have committed against Me, rebelling against Me.

For I will be merciful to their wrongdoing,
and I will never again remember their sins.

May mercy, peace, and love be multiplied to you.
