After this I had a vision of a great multitude, which no one could count, from every nation, race, people, and tongue. They stood before the throne and before the Lamb, wearing white robes and holding palm branches in their hands. They cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation comes from our God, who is seated on the throne, and from the Lamb.” – Revelation 7:9-10
O Lord God, King of all creation, you are the Alpha and the Omega, First and Last, Beginning and End, and every nation, and every type of individual in every nation, is yours, which you have formed and breathed life into and you will, at the end of time, draw them all unto yourself. Each and everyone of us is yours and will finally return to you, redeemed and delivered, purified and sanctified, to stand in your presence and worship and thank, giving you glory forevermore.
Father, you sent the prophesied Messiah to make this possible, dying and atoning for the sins of the whole world, as a sacrificial Lamb led to the slaughter and made a ransom, to save and draw all men away from their wickedness into the pure light of redemption. Like a Good Shepherd, he accounted for all the sheep and made sure that every sheep returned to the fold. He left the ninety-nine in safety, to save the one lost!
We are led, not by might or power, but by the Holy Spirit, to follow the Lamb of God, our Savior Jesus Christ, who, by the Holy Word of your gospel of truth and revelation, leads us, by love, which is your new commandment, into loving communication with you, everloving God and Father. Christianity is a spiritual force and impulse, that fully transforms man, to a perfection in the image of God, Christlike and Christ centered, stirring all that is great and noble in the soul. Lord, bestow upon us the fragrant spirit of the power of your love, to transmit it to all we meet and as we evangelize, draw all to heaven’s open gate, in the Name of Jesus. Amen
