USCCB - (NAB) - November 22, 2009: "Reading II
Rv 1:5-8
Jesus Christ is the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth.
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
who has made us into a kingdom, priests for his God and Father,
to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.
Behold, he is coming amid the clouds,
and every eye will see him,
even those who pierced him.
All the peoples of the earth will lament him.
Yes. Amen.
'I am the Alpha and the Omega, ' says the Lord God,
'the one who is and who was and who is to come, the almighty.'"

How do we witness with our lives that Jesus is King to all?
I think that I witness God's love for all in the ministries which I serve but it is much harder to do with family and friends who ridicule my faith. With them I do my best to show them God without words and with prayer. I wish I had more wisdom in dealing with them so they would come to know Christ.
