‘You are worthy to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slaughtered and by your blood you ransomed for God
saints from every tribe and language and people and nation;
10you have made them to be a kingdom and priests serving our God,
and they will reign on earth.’
Revelation 5:9-10 NRSV
and to open its seals,
for you were slaughtered and by your blood you ransomed for God
saints from every tribe and language and people and nation;
10you have made them to be a kingdom and priests serving our God,
and they will reign on earth.’
Revelation 5:9-10 NRSV
This One,
the reality
to whom the shadows pointed,
this slaughtered One,
like the spotless lambs,
under whose blood
Israel escaped
and became a people,
this worthy One,
is the One
under whose blood
we escape
and become a people.
