His Eyes Pouring Fire-Blaze
4-7 I, John, am writing this to the seven churches in Asia province: All the best to you from The God Who Is, The God Who Was, and The God About to Arrive,
and from the Seven Spirits assembled before his throne, and from Jesus
Christ—Loyal Witness, Firstborn from the dead, Ruler of all earthly
kings.
Glory and strength to Christ, who loves us,
who blood-washed our sins from our lives,
Who made us a Kingdom, Priests for his Father,
forever—and yes, he’s on his way!
Riding the clouds, he’ll be seen by every eye,
those who mocked and killed him will see him,
People from all nations and all times
will tear their clothes in lament.
Oh, Yes.

For Reflection
"Jesus Christ—Loyal Witness, Firstborn from the dead, Ruler of all earthly kings."
Jesus Christ, Son of God.
Jesus Christ, Loyal witness to the living God, the God we can see.
Jesus Christ, First of those born into a new life transformed by God who resided in him.
Jesus Christ, Compassionate, obedient to God, leader of God's counter culture, the Kingdom of God.
Jesus Christ, The sign that God loves his creation so much that He suffered his son, so that all might be reconciled to the Truth.

Pray
that
through the children of God all will see the the folly of
self-centeredness and embrace God-centeredness. Pray that all who are
touched by the rush of the transforming waters of the Holy Spirit will
be transformed into children of God. Pray for the triumph of love,
compassion, and obedience to the God whose sacrifice reconciles all.
