Resurrection Sunday Message 2026

We certainly serve a risen Savior. And today, I thought that what is the best way for me to reveal to you the resurrected one? How can I best demonstrate to you who the Christ is? Helping you come to grips with the beauty of the glorified Son of God. And so I thought that the best thing that I could do is take you to the book of the Bible that reveals Him the best.

Now, the Bible is all about the revelation of Christ. But the book of Revelation is really the revelation of Jesus Christ. That's what it says in Revelation 1, verse number 1. It says the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The apokalypsis. The uncovering. The unveiling. The manifesting of Jesus Christ. There's no book in the Bible that better manifests the identity of the Messiah than the book of Revelation. It's the last book in your Bible. Last book in the New Testament. But it reveals to us with great clarity, in a very splendid way, in a very marvelous way, the character and nature of Jesus Christ. It is the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The book of Revelation is not about the end times. We have it all mixed up. We think, well, the book of Revelation tells us all about the end, and it does.

But the book of Revelation is not about the end times. It's about Jesus Christ, who is the one in charge of the end times. He's the one who controls everything.

And we forget that when we read the Bible. That's why Christ condemned the Pharisees, because in Revelation, excuse me, John chapter 5 verse number 39, he says, you search the scriptures, for in them you think that you have eternal life, but you missed me. How can you read the Bible and miss me? Well, how can you be the read the book of Revelation and miss Christ? Because everything about the book of Revelation is the unmasking, the unveiling of the glory of the risen Christ.

And he happens to be the one that controls the end. And so he's going to manifest that to us, but he does it because of who he is. And so when you read the book of Revelation, and you miss Jesus, then you didn't read it right.

In fact, let me say it to you this way. If you want a blessing, if you want to be blessed today, you've come to the right place. Because we're going to unfold for you the right person.

The Bible says in Revelation 1, verse number 1, the revelation of Jesus Christ. And then it says in verse number 3, these words. Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy and heed the things which are written in it for the time is near.

The blessing comes to those who hear about the revelation of Christ, those who read about the revelation of Christ, and those who obey the revelation of Jesus Christ. In fact, the book is bracketed by that exact same phrase in Revelation 21. Because it all comes to those who hear and read and obey everything that Jesus Christ says because of who he is.

So if you want your life to be blessed, spend your life reading and mastering the revelation of Jesus Christ, the book of Revelation. And so I thought, if I could reveal to you the resurrected one, where would I go in the Bible to reveal him to you in the clearest possible manner? How is it I could convey to you the beauty of the resurrected Christ? We've been studying the gospel of John, and John presents to us Jesus. We've spent eight weeks in the first five verses that you might understand who Jesus is.

So John's going to present to you Jesus Christ. Now, Jesus is going to present to John himself. Jesus is going to appear to John on the island of Patmos.

All of his apostle friends have died. They've all been martyred. But John is still living.

He's probably in his 90s by now. He's on the island of Patmos. It's around 96 A.D. And here he is, isolated all alone.

And he has probably wondered, what has happened to the return of the king? I mean, after all, he had spent time with the Messiah. He had understood the Messiah. He was an apostle of the Messiah.

And then the Messiah dies and rises again. And then he spends 40 days with the other apostles listening to Jesus teach about the coming kingdom. And when it's all said and done in Acts chapter 1, they all ask, well, are you now going to restore the kingdom to Israel? It's now the time. We're awaiting your arrival for you to ascend the throne and rule as the king. And Jesus simply says, it's not funeral times or the epics in which the Father is fixed by his own authority. It's not time.

And yet you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you shall be my martyrs. And that's come true.

They're all dead except for John. And so he's been wondering, it's been 60 years and Jesus hasn't returned. And he preached all about the return of the king, his coming again, his imminent return.

And yet it's been 60 years. And John hasn't seen Christ since his ascension into glory. But now all of a sudden, on the island of Patmos in the Aegean Sea, John all alone, the resurrected one, is going to appear.

He's going to come to John and express to John who he is. Because John's in need of encouragement. He's going to write to seven churches who are in desperate need of encouragement.

They need comfort. They need hope. They need consolation.

I mean, the church on the planet at that time was in shambles. All I get is today. And there was a call for the church to repent and turn back to their Messiah, turn back to their king.

And the way he's going to do that is by giving the gospel. And here is the gospel. I was dead. I am alive forevermore. That's the cornerstone of Christianity.

I was dead. I am alive forevermore. The crucifixion and the resurrection is the gospel. In fact, Tim read it to you earlier in 1 Corinthians, chapter 15, when it says, I make known to you, brethren, the gospel.

What's the gospel? I deliver to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that he was buried and that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. In other words, what Scripture? Not the New Testament. It hadn't been written yet.

So he's talking about the Old Testament Scriptures. Christ died according to the Old Testament. Christ was raised according to the Old Testament.

And so the gospel is this. Christ died and rose again. The gospel is the identity and the ministry and the victory of Christ.

Christ, the Messiah, that's his identity. The ministry is the crucifixion and resurrection. And the victory is that he reigns supreme forever and ever, and is alive forevermore.

And so Christ is going to reveal Himself to John and say, I was dead. I am alive forevermore. It's just a marvelous passage.

So if you've got your Bible, turn with me to Revelation chapter 1. Revelation chapter 1. You need to understand that the gospel is not so much surrounding the miracles of Christ, and He did many miracles, nor was it around the ministry of Christ while He was on earth. It was all around the mission of Christ. He had a mission. Die, be buried, rise again. And that's why Christ will say to him, I was dead. I am alive forevermore.

This is the encouragement to the churches. This is the comfort to the churches. This is, by the way, your only encouragement because it's an eternal encouragement.

It's a long-lasting consolation that Jesus Christ came, was killed, crucified, buried, and rose again. So John hears a voice. And upon hearing a voice on this island, I remember He's all alone.

There's nobody to talk to. Maybe I'm sure He's had some conversations with Himself. I'm sure He's had some conversations with the Lord.

But He's on this island, all by Himself. There's nothing there. And all of a sudden, He hears this voice.

It's a voice that He's heard before. It's a very familiar voice to John. And it says in verse 12, Revelation 1, then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me.

And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands. Lampstands are the churches. If you read on the book of Revelation, it'll tell you that the lampstands are the churches, because you're going to write the seven churches.

And in the middle of the lampstands, I saw one like a son of man. It speaks to the centrality of the Messiah. He is a central figure of the church.

He is in the central aspect of the seven lampstands. And if the church is to see Christ as a central figure for everything, the church has lost its mission. So he emphasizes the centrality of the Messiah.

One like a son of man clothed in a robe reaching to defeat and girded across his chest with a golden sash. He emphasized the priority of the Messiah, because the golden sash and the robe speak of the kingly, priestly robes, meaning that this king priest is in intercession for his churches. He lives to make intercession for us, Hebrews 7 tells us. This is his priority.

And then it says, his head and his hair were white like wool, like snow. It speaks of his purity. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and his feet were like burning bronze when it has been made to glow in a furnace which speaks of his scrutiny. And his voice was like the sound of many waters.

In his right hand he yelled seven stars. Out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, which speaks of his authority. And his face was like the sun shining in its strength. That speaks of his glory.

And then, verse 17, when I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. Wait a minute. Hasn't John seen the resurrected Christ before? Yeah.

He saw the resurrected, glorified Christ. He was face to face with him. He ate with him.

He spent 40 days with him. He has seen the glorified, resurrected Christ before. But remember, and this is very, very important, that Mary in the garden did not recognize the resurrected, glorified Christ.

The two men on the road to Emmaus, they did not recognize the glorified, resurrected Christ. Only until he revealed himself, only until he unveiled himself, only until he uncovered himself so they could see who he really is. This is so important.

Why? Because you see, 2 Corinthians 4:4 tells us that Satan has blinded the mind of the unbeliever so he does not see the light of the gospel or the glory of the Christ. Satan doesn't want you to see what John sees. Because you see, once you see what John sees, you fall on your face like a dead man.

Ezekiel did. Isaiah did. Manoah did.

Just read those who encountered the glorified, living Christ in the Old Testament. They fell down before him like dead men on the Mount of Transfiguration when Christ unzipped his flesh. You see, the reason people didn't fall down every time they saw Christ is because all that glory was encased in flesh.

That's why when he would walk down the street, people didn't know who he was. They didn't recognize him. But when he unzipped his flesh on the Mount of Transfiguration, Peter, James, and John would fall down once again before the glorified Christ.

All of his brilliance, all of his splendor, all of his majesty, all of his royalty. You see, we live in a day of artificial Christianity. Churches are filled with artificial people who think they're Christians.

Very few churches have authentic Christians. Most are filled with artificial Christians. And what is the difference between an artificial Christian and an authentic Christian? The artificial Christian does not fall on his face like a dead man.

The authentic Christian does because he sees his sinfulness in light of God's holiness and he cannot stand in his presence. I ask you today, are you an artificial Christian or are you an authentic Christian? We have watered down the gospel so much that anybody and everybody can accept it. That's what artificial Christians do.

They water it down so much that anybody and everybody just jumps on the Jesus bandwagon. But when you authentically portray the Christ for who he really is, then those who've been called by him will fall down before him in fear and repentance because all they see is their sin. Now note this, it says, When I saw him, I fell on his feet like a dead man and he placed his right hand on me, saying, John, do not be afraid.

You see, John was afraid. He said, wait a minute. How can John be afraid of the Christ that he ministered with and served with and loved the disciple whom Jesus loved? Why would John be afraid? Because fear is what marks authentic Christianity.

Fearlessness marks artificial Christianity. You need to understand this. It's only the believer who fears the Christ.

The unbeliever does not. Romans 3, quoted from Psalm 14, there is no fear of God before their eyes. That's the unbeliever.

They don't fear God. The fearless, the unbeliever, will one day become fearful because it's a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But the fearful, the authentic, they are the ones who become fearless because they receive a touch from the Messiah who says, do not be afraid.

Psalm 130, verse number 4, there is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared. Never forget that verse. There is forgiveness with thee that thou mayest be feared.

Only the forgiven live in fear. The unforgiven do not live in fear. They live a fearless life.

But one day they will fall into the hands of the living God and it's fearful to fall into those hands. So here is John who hasn't seen the glorified risen Christ in 60 years. And he's going to unveil himself, the revelation of Jesus Christ, in all of his glory, in all of his scrutiny, in all of his purity, in all of his beauty, in all of his royalty, in all of his priority, in all of his centrality.

He's going to present himself to John. But John has already presented him to us in John 1:1 to 5. And now Jesus is going to present himself to John in Revelation 1, verses 17 and 18. This is what he says.

I am the first and the last and the living one. And I was dead and behold I am alive forevermore and I have the keys of death and Hades. This is the way Christ presents himself to John.

This is how Christ unveils himself to John. This is how Christ wants to be unveiled to you. This is how you need to see the resurrected Christ.

I am the first and the last, the living one. This speaks of his eternality. And his eternality is unfathomable.

First of all, he says, I am. That very familiar phrase that John would know. In the original, text, ego eimi, which is the Greek translation of the name of God in the Old Testament, Exodus chapter 3, I am that I am.

It's the name of God as deliverer, as redeemer. It's his memorial name. And John had heard him say several times, I am the door.

I am the good shepherd. I am the way, the truth, and the life. I am the light of the world.

I am the bread of life. Before Abraham was, I am, ego eimi. And every Jew knew what he meant.

That's when he picked up stones to stone him. They thought he blasphemed the name of God. When Christ did before Caiaphas.

Caiaphas said, tell me, tell me now, are you the Christ? Are you the Messiah? Are you the Son of God? Christ said, simply, I am. And the high priest tore his robes, thinking that Christ had blasphemed God. He didn't because he is God.

He said in John 8, verse 24, unless you believe that I am, you will die in your sins. You must believe that I am the God who spoke to Moses from the burning bush. You must believe in my memorial name.

I am a deliverer, a redeemer. And I am as the only redeemer, the only savior, the only deliverer that there ever is. And unless you believe that he is exactly who he says he is, you will die in your sins.

That's so important to understand what Christ is trying to convey to John. He says, John, ego eimi, you know me. So I am.

I am your God, your deliverer. I am the eternal God. I am the first and the last.

What a great title for God. Go back to the book of Isaiah, and you can read through the book of Isaiah. Over and over, God says, I am the first and I am the last.

There is no other God beside me. I'm it. There's nothing before me because I'm first.

There's nothing after me because I'm last. He would say the same thing in Revelation 1, verse number 8, when he says, I am the Alpha and the Omega. The first letter and the last letter of the Greek alphabet, I am before anything ever spoken, I am after everything that is spoken.

There is no word before me, there is no word after me. I always get the last word because I always had the first word. At the end, Revelation 22, verse number 13, he says these words, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

There's no better way to say it. Before anything, I am. After everything, I am.

Here's the great thing about that. At your conception, he is there. At the conception of your life, he is there. At the duration of your life, he is there. At the consummation of your life, he is there because he's everywhere. He's the eternal God.

He exists outside the realm of time. We don't understand that. That's because he's eternal. The eternality of God.

He reaches out and he touches John. Every believer who fears him understands the touch of the living God, the comfort that comes from the living God. And he says, I am the first and the last, the living one.

It's a title for God in the Old Testament. Psalm 42, my heart thirst for the living God. Psalm 82, I sing for joy to the living God.

Peter said, thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. The church is the pillar and foundation of the living God. I am the living God.

And I'm alive forevermore, John. I live. And only the living God can give life to lifeless people. And the unbeliever is a lifeless person.

And so Christ comes to John and John's afraid because of what he sees. The voice he hears. And Christ says, don't be afraid, John. This is my unfathomable eternality.

Here you are on this island all by yourself. You think I haven't been here? Oh, no, I've been here. I'm everywhere.

And I want to assure you that I am the first and the last. I am the living God. I want you to understand my eternality because you need to infuse encouragement into the suffering churches.

That's why to the church of Smyrna, who was the crushed church, he said in Revelation 2, verse number 8, I am the first and the last, who was dead and has come to life. Because you see, for the persecuted church, they need to know that the first and the last, the beginning and the end, the alpha and the omega, the eternal God who died and rose again is there for them. That's their only encouragement.

That's their hope. And that's our hope. So the Bible says, I am.

I am the first and the last. I am the living one. And I was dead.

How does the living one die in the moment? I'll tell you, let's pray. Father, thank you for today. Thank you, Father, for the opportunity we have to study your Word, the revelation of Jesus Christ, the unveiling of glorified, risen Christ.

What a joy. What a pleasure. What an opportunity for us to be able to sit back, read, hear, and then be responsible enough to obey the words of the one who said, I am the first and the last.

The living one. Do not be afraid, John. He reached out and he touched him.

Those here, Lord, in need of your touch today, we pray that they would hear and obey the word of the living God. In Jesus' name, amen.

<The message continued after congregational singing.>

The glorified, risen Christ says to John, you don't need to be afraid, John.

I am the first and the last. I am the living one. Let's know what the psalmist said in Psalm 90, verses 1 and 2. Lord, you have been our dwelling place in all generations.

How can God be the dwelling place for every generation? Unless he is the first and the last, the I am, the living God, the eternal God, who exists outside the realm of time. But you have been our dwelling place in every generation. Before the mountains were born, or you gave birth to the earth and the world.

So you are the alpha and the omega. You are the first and the last because you existed before the earth existed. But he says this, even from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.

The psalmist knew, the psalmist knew about the eternality of the living God, that he exists in all realms of life in every generation, because that's who he is. He's never not present. He's never not there.

He is the God who is always there. He's never the God who is absent. He is the living God, who is the great I am, who is the first and the last.

He is the living one. And yet he tells John, and I was dead. How does the living one die? How can the living God die? Well he can't, unless he enraps himself in flesh.

The Bible tells us in Hebrews chapter 5 that God has prepared a body for him. And he had to die. First Peter 3, verse number 18 says it this way, for Christ also died for sins once, for all, just once.

Doesn't die over and over and over again. Every time we take communion, we're not celebrating Christ's death again and again and again, that he's dying again. No, we are celebrating the fact that he once died.

That sacrifice was once for all. The just, which he is, for the unjust, which we are, so that he might bring us to God. Christ said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes unto the Father but by me.

Now listen, everybody in the room gets to God. Everybody in the world gets to God.

But you only come to the Father through the Son. If you get to God, you're in trouble. But if you come to the Father, you'll live with Him forever in eternity.

But in order for us to have a mediator, there's one mediator between God and man, it's the man Christ Jesus. He had to become a man. He had to be born to die.

So let me help you understand death because I'm afraid that we live in a day and age where people don't get what death is. All death is, is a separation. I just “deathed” the paper.

I separated the paper. That's all death is. It is a separation.

So let me explain it to you. When you were born, you were born dead.

You say, wait a minute, I was kicking and screaming and crying and begging for something to eat and my mom and dad were trying to calm me down. I was way alive.

Oh, no, no, you were dead. You were dead spiritually because you were born dead in your trespasses and sin.

But yet you were alive. So how can you be dead and alive? Because your body, your soul is separated from the eternal God. You're at enmity with God.

You're not a friend of God. You're a friend of the world. You've been taken captive by Satan to do his will.

So therefore you are separated from God. You are death to God, both your physical body and your soul. Before you physically die, in other words, before your body and soul are separated when you stop breathing, okay, you must rectify the fact that you're eternally dead, spiritually dead.

Because the Bible speaks of death in three ways, a physical death, a spiritual death and eternal death. So, because you are born spiritually dead, before you are physically dead, you must rectify your spiritual life or you will be eternally dead. That is, your body and soul will be separated from God forever and ever and ever.

When you die, your body decays. We experience that now. We're getting older.

Now that I'm older, I don't say people are old anymore. I just say they're getting older, right? Because old is very relative, but older is subjective, right? So as we get older, as we age, we begin to break down. We're not what we used to be.

The wrinkles get longer. The crevices get deeper. The flab is flabbier because we're decaying. And finally, one day the body just dies. It perishes, but the soul is on, right? So physical death is a separation of body from soul, absent from the body, present with the Lord. It's appointed to man once to die, after that the judgment.

So everybody dies, and everybody lives forever, either with God or without God. So the Bible speaks of spiritual death. When you're born, physically, you are spiritually dead.

Therefore, we preach the gospel so people can be reconciled to God. Second Corinthians 5 talks about how we're ambassadors for Christ, and we're ministers of reconciliation. We want to reconcile people to God.

They're at enmity with God. So let's reconcile them to God. Let's preach the gospel.

Let's show them who Christ is so that they don't die physically in a spiritually dead state. And so when you die physically, if you know the Lord, your spirit goes to heaven. If you don't know the Lord, it goes to Hades, the place of the dead.

We'll look at that in a moment. So Christ, in order to be separated, separated from what? Flesh. He had to be put to death in the flesh, but alive, 1 Peter 3:18 tells us, in the spirit.

You see, he had to die physically. Somebody had to die in your place. The wages of sin is what? Death.

Someone's got to die. Now you can die and pay for your own sins, but you'll pay eternally in hell. Or you can accept what Christ did on the cross who died in your place and spent eternity with Christ.

He became our substitute. He died in our place. So he had to...we know he died.

John 19 tells us that they stuck a spear in his side and out came water. They didn't break his legs because he was already dead. Breaking the legs of the crucified one would only hurry up to death, and they had to get him off the cross before evening came.

You know, he was dead, but 1 Peter 3:18 says he was alive in the spirit. We know that because, after the resurrection, what did he do? 1 Peter 3:19. He went down to Hades and made a public proclamation to the spirits that are imprisoned in the place of the dead. Those that were held captive there since the days of Noah, because they had no idea that Christ had died and rose again. Because he was alive in the spirit. He went down and made a public proclamation as the victorious one because he is the ultimate victor.

And then, he bodily rose from the dead on day number 3. You see, I was dead, John. You know when I died? I died for you, John. I died for you.

I was separated from the body. I came encased in flesh. There was a body that was prepared for me.

All the days are written for me in the scroll of my Father in heaven. I came to do the will of my Father in heaven. I came to die, John. I came to die for you.

This is his unimaginable humility. From his unfathomable eternality to his unimaginable humility, that the king of glory would encase himself in flesh so that he could die for your sins and for mine.

That's amazing. Philippians tells us he became obedient unto death, even the death on a tree on the cross. I was dead.

He says this, behold, stand amazed. I'm alive forevermore. Hebrews 7 says he lives an indestructible life.

The Bible says over in 1 Timothy chapter 1, verse number 17, now to the king, immortal, invisible, the only God, the honor and glory forever and ever.

The eternal, immortal God, the imperishable God, the incorruptible God, the non-decaying God is alive forevermore.

Second Timothy 1 verse number 10, Jesus Christ has abolished death, has abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. Christ has abolished death.

In other words, he's rendered death inoperable. It doesn't mean that death has disappeared because people still die. People still are physically separated from their spirit when they give up this life, this physical life.

But it means that he has rendered death inoperative in the life of the believer so that we no longer fear death. Here is John on the Isle of Patmos all by himself, all alone, knowing he's going to die. All of his friends have died. He's next. He doesn’t know when.

And Christ says I'm alive forevermore, John. I want you to understand that my eternality is unimaginable. I want you to understand that, or it should be unfathomable, and my humility is unimaginable. But my immortality is undeniable.

I live forever, John. Because I live, John 14, you too shall live, because he is the God who gives life. He is the living God who grants man not just eternal life, but quality of life. Hebrews chapter 2 says, therefore since the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise also partook of the same that through death he might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is the devil, and might free those who through fear of death were subject to slavery all their lives.

You see, what Christ did was free the authentic Christian from the fear of death. The artificial Christian fears death. The authentic Christian does not fear death because, you see, you abolished death. When you believe in the eternal God, the living God, the first and the last, the great I am, you no longer fear death because he's the living God. Death is the doorway to the entrance to eternity to be with the living God.

That's how you know an authentic Christian from an artificial Christian, artificial people fear death. Authentic Christians have no fear of death. None.

How about you? You fear death? Ask yourself if you're an artificial Christian just playing at Christianity, or if you truly know the living resurrected Christ. This is how Christ reveals himself to John. This is the encouragement he's going to give to the churches.

I want you to tell them of my eternality, tell them of my humility, tell them of my immortality, and then tell them one last thing. Tell them of my absolute authority that I have the keys to death and Hades. That's how he concludes it.

I have absolute authority, complete sovereignty. Keys give you access. You can't get into the building unless you have a key.

You can break in, but you can't actually enter in without keys. You can't drive your car without a key. You can't get in your house without a key.

You can't get in your lockbox without a key. Keys give you access. Keys give you authority.

If I have my keys, guess who's driving my car? Not you. Me. Because I have the keys.

I have authority. I have access. You don't.

Christ says I have the keys to death and Hades. In other words, I am in complete and total control of every single person and every single thing on earth. Death is the condition.

Hades is the place. Christ says in Deuteronomy 32, verse 39, I am God. There is none else.

I alone put to death. I give life. There's nothing more clearer than that.

If you want to know why people die, answer God. I put to death.

It pleased the Lord to crush his son. Isaiah 53, verse number 10, who killed Christ? The Jews, the Romans, the Gentiles? God killed his son.

I hold the keys, Christ says, to death and Hades. Your destination, John, is in my hands.

It's in my hands, John. As you sit on the island of Patmos, all by your little lonesome, all by yourself, and you think that I'm not coming again, let me reveal to you who I am and then all the events that I will enact to show you I'm coming again. But know this, that you're in my hand, John, because I hold the keys to death and Hades.

I'm in charge of who lives and who dies. I'm in charge of who dies, when they die, where they die, and how they die.

That's hard for some people to grasp, but that is our God. He's in complete and total control. But if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For the mouth man confesses unto salvation, where the heart man believes under righteousness.

The blessing comes to you today because of the revelation of Jesus Christ. The blessing comes to you today because you're here to read and to hear. And now, in order to enact the blessing, you must obey.

You must heed the words of this book. And that is the blessing that the resurrected one revealed to you in the book of Revelation grants to all those who put their faith and trust in the living God. Let me pray with you.

Father, thank you for today. For truly, Lord, you are a great God, and you alone are worthy of praise, and we glorify your precious name. Knowing that one day you're going to come again, until that day, may we be found faithful in our service to the King, may we glorify your precious name.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.
