Who is

Then to the angel of the church at Laodicea write thus: These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the origin of God's creation.

Truly, truly I tell you, we are speaking of what we do understand, we testify to what we have actually seen ??and yet you refuse our testimony.

Jesus replied to them, "Though I do testify to myself, my evidence is valid, because I know where I have come from and where I am going to ??whereas you do not know where I have come from or where I am going to.

"So you are a king?" said Pilate, "you!" "Certainly," said Jesus, "I am a king. This is why I was born, this is why I came into the world, to bear testimony to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice."

In the presence of God who is the Life of all, and of Christ Jesus who testified to the good confession before Pontius Pilate, I charge you

The Spirit is the witness to this, for the Spirit is truth.

And the first

that the Christ is capable of suffering, and that he should be the first to rise from the dead and bring the message of light to the People and to the Gentiles?"

But it is not so! Christ did rise from the dead, he was the first to be reaped of those who sleep in death.

Also, he is the head of the Body, that is, of the church, in virtue of his primacy as the first to be born from the dead ??that gives him pre-eminence over all.

And the prince

Then the seventh angel blew; and loud voices followed in heaven, crying, "The rule of the world has passed to our Lord and his Christ, and he shall reign for ever and ever."

They will wage war on the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings ??the Lamb and the elect, the chosen, the faithful who are with him."

And on his robe, upon his thigh, his name is written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Then Jesus came forward to them and said, "Full authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth;

which he exerted in raising Christ from the dead and seating him at his right hand in the heavenly sphere,

Him

Now before the passover festival Jesus knew the time had come for him to pass from this world to the Father. He had loved his own in this world and he loved them to the end;

As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; remain within my love.

No, in all this we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, Christ lives in me; the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God who loved me and gave himself up for me.

But, dead in trespasses as we were, God was so rich in mercy that for his great love to us

and lead lives of love, just as Christ loved you and gave himself up for you to be a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.

Love lies in this, not in our love for him but in his love for us ??in the sending of his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
