God was pleased to bring all things back to himself. That’s because of what Christ has done. These things include everything on earth and in heaven. God made peace through Christ’s blood, by his death on the cross.

God showed. He showed this when he raised Christ from the dead. God seated him at his right hand in his heavenly kingdom.There Christ sits far above all who rule and have authority. He also sits far above all powers and kings. He is above every name that is appealed to in this world and in the world to come.

“ I’m sure that what you have said is true. But how can human beings prove to God they are not guilty?They might wish to argue with him. But they couldn’t answer him even once in a thousand times.His wisdom is deep. His power is great. No one opposes him and comes away unharmed.He moves mountains, and they don’t even know it. When he is angry, he turns them upside down.He shakes the earth loose from its place. He makes its pillars tremble.When he tells the sun not to shine, it doesn’t. He turns off the light of the stars.He’s the only one who can spread out the heavens. He alone can walk on the waves of the ocean.He made the Big Dipper and Orion. He created the Pleiades and the southern stars.He does wonderful things that can’t be understood. He does miracles that can’t even be counted.

“ The spirits of the dead are suffering greatly. So are those that are under the waters. And so are all those that live in them.The place of the dead is naked in the sight of God. The grave lies open in front of him.He spreads out the northern skies over empty space. He hangs the earth over nothing.He wraps up water in his clouds. They are heavy, but they don’t burst.He covers the face of the full moon. He spreads his clouds over it.He marks out the place where the sky meets the sea. He marks out the boundary between light and darkness.The pillars of the heavens shake. They are terrified when his anger blazes out.With his power he stirred up the oceans. In his wisdom he cut the sea monster Rahab to pieces.His breath made the skies bright and clear. His hand wounded the serpent that glides through the sea.Those are only on the edges of what he does. They are only the soft whispers that we hear from him. So who can understand how very powerful he is?”

Then they will praise me. I will give perfect peace to those who are far away and those who are near. And I will heal them,” says the Lord.

The Lord rules. Let the nations tremble. He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the earth shake.Great is the Lord in Zion. He is honored over all the nations.Let them praise his great and wonderful name. He is holy.

They called out to the mountains and rocks,“ Fall on us! Hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne! Hide us from the anger of the Lamb!

Lord, you are great and powerful. Glory, majesty and beauty belong to you. Everything in heaven and on earth belongs to you. Lord, the kingdom belongs to you. You are honored as the one who rules over all.Wealth and honor come from you. You are the ruler of all things. In your hands are strength and power. You can give honor and strength to everyone.

Lord, no one is like you. You are great. You are mighty and powerful.King of the nations, everyone should have respect for you. That’s what people should give you. Among all the wise leaders of the nations there is no one like you. No one can compare with you in all their kingdoms.

Give praise to the only God our Savior. Glory, majesty, power and authority belong to him. Give praise to him through Jesus Christ our Lord. His praise was before all time, continues now, and will last forever. Amen.

He planned to bring both Jews and Gentiles back to God as one body. He planned to do this through the cross. On that cross, Christ put to death their hatred toward one another.He came and preached peace to you who were far away. He also preached peace to those who were near.

Is your arm as powerful as mine is? Can your voice thunder as mine does?Then put on glory and beauty as if they were your clothes. Also put on honor and majesty.Let loose your great anger. Look at those who are proud and bring them low.Look at proud people and make them humble. Crush evil people right where they are.Bury their bodies together in the dust. Cover their faces in the grave.Then I myself will admit to you that your own right hand can save you.

The God who is highly honored lives forever. His name is holy. He says,“ I live in a high and holy place. But I also live with anyone who turns away from their sins. I live with anyone who is not proud. I give new life to them. I give it to anyone who turns away from their sins.

Then Jesus came to them. He said,“ All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

All this is from God. He brought us back to himself through Christ’s death on the cross. And he has given us the task of bringing others back to him through Christ.God was bringing the world back to himself through Christ. He did not hold people’s sins against them. God has trusted us with the message that people may be brought back to him.So we are Christ’s official messengers. It is as if God were making his appeal through us. Here is what Christ wants us to beg you to do. Come back to God!Christ didn’t have any sin. But God made him become sin for us. So we can be made right with God because of what Christ has done for us.

At the end of that time I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up toward heaven. My mind became clear again. Then I praised the Most High God. I gave honor and glory to the God who lives forever. His rule will last forever. His kingdom will never end.He considers all the nations on earth to be nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven. He does what he wants with the nations of the earth. No one can hold back his hand. No one can say to him,“ What have you done?”My honor and glory were returned to me when my mind became clear again. The glory of my kingdom was given back to me. My advisers and nobles came to me. And I was put back on my throne. I became even greater than I had been before.Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give praise and honor and glory to the King of heaven. Everything he does is right. All his ways are fair. He is able to bring down those who live proudly.

Blessed are those who make peace. They will be called children of God.

Keep us from sinning when we are tempted. Save us from the evil one.’
