Blessed

"And from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead and ruler of earth's kings," Revelation 1:5.

Grace and peace. What's from Jesus? Grace and peace. From whomever else? Also, from him who is and who was and who is to come. Grace and peace. And, too, from the seven spirits before God's throne. Grace and peace. This Jesus revealed to any and all comers, God. Whoever received this Jesus heard and saw God's word and work. This Jesus died. This Jesus God raised, firstborn of the dead, made him ruler of rulers. The first one brought back to life never to die again. First of many to come. Grace and peace.

We meet with a brother or sister today blessed to hear and to keep what Jesus revealed. And, together, we bless God who gifts us in Christ with grace and peace.
