“and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him, and all tribes of the earth will wail on account of him. Even so. 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 ‭1:5-8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

All,
This stands out because John says, “To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood and made us a kingdom”. Christ has freed us from our sins. We still sin, but He has given us the ability to not sin by relying on Him. He knows what abundant life is for us and He wants us to trust Him. Please pray that we and our friends trust Christ in every situation today. Please pray for the men considering CLC.
