Thought for the day:
To Him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by His blood,
and has made us a kingdom and priests to serve His God and Father—
to Him be glory and power forever and ever! Amen.
“Look, He is coming with the clouds,
and “every eye will see Him,
even those who pierced Him”;
and all peoples on earth “will mourn because of Him.”
So shall it be! Amen.
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God,
“Who is, and Who was, and Who is to come, the Almighty.”
Revelation 1:6-8
