Readers’ Theatre: Revelation
1:4-8
Grace and
peace to you from the one who is,
who always was,
and who is
still to come;
from the sevenfold
Spirit before his throne;
and from
Jesus Christ.
He is the faithful witness to these
things,
the first
to rise from the dead,
and the ruler of all the kings of
the world.
All glory
to him who loves us
and has
freed us from our sins by shedding his blood for us.
He has made us a Kingdom of priests
for God his Father.
All glory
and power to him forever and ever! Amen.
Look! He comes with the clouds of
heaven.
And everyone will see him—even those who pierced him.
And all the nations of the world will mourn for him.
Yes! Amen!
And everyone will see him—even those who pierced him.
And all the nations of the world will mourn for him.
Yes! Amen!
“I am the
Alpha and the Omega—the beginning and the end,”
says the
Lord God.
“I am the one who is,
who always
was,
and who is still to come—the
Almighty One.”
Come, Lord Jesus!
