"Therefore, come, all families of men, you who have been befouled with sins, and receive forgiveness for your sins.  I am your forgiveness.  I am the Passover of your salvation, I am your light, I am your savior, I am your resurrection, I am your king.  I am leading you up to the heights of heaven, I will show you the eternal Father, I will raise you up by my right hand".  

This is the one who made the heaven and the earth, and who in the beginning created man, who was proclaimed through the law and the prophets, who became human through the virgin, who was hanged upon a tree, who was buried in the earth, who was resurrected to the heights of heaven, who sits at the right hand of the Father, who has authority to judge and to save everything, from the beginning of the world to the end of the age.  

This is the alpha and the omega, this is the beginning and the end — an indescribable beginning, and an incomprehensible end.  This is the Christ.  This is the king.  This is Jesus.  This is the general.  This is the Lord.  This is the one who sits at the right hand of the Father, to whom be the glory and the power for ever.  Amen.
