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!
“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!
