You also are like living stones. As you come to Christ, you are being built into a house for worship. There you will be holy priests. You will offer spiritual sacrifices. God will accept them because of what Jesus Christ has done.

“‘ Suppose they offer a friendship offering to show they are thankful. Then together with the thank offering they must offer thick loaves of bread. They must make them without yeast. They must mix them with olive oil. Or they must offer thin loaves of bread made without yeast. They must spread olive oil on them. Or they must offer thick loaves of bread made out of the finest flour. They must add olive oil to it. They must work the flour and prepare it well.

On that day large numbers of sacrifices were offered. The people were glad because God had given them great joy. The women and children were also very happy. The joyful sound in Jerusalem could be heard far away.

Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord.Always give thanks to God the Father for everything. Give thanks to him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Then he made the Lord’ s altar look like new again. He sacrificed friendship offerings and thank offerings on it. He told the people of Judah to serve the Lord, the God of Israel.

Here is the new song they sang.“ You are worthy to take the scroll and break open its seals. You are worthy because you were put to death. With your blood you bought people for God. They come from every tribe, people and nation, no matter what language they speak.You have made them members of a royal family. You have made them priests to serve our God. They will rule on the earth.”Then I looked and heard the voice of millions and millions of angels. They surrounded the throne. They surrounded the living creatures and the elders.In a loud voice they were saying,“ The Lamb, who was put to death, is worthy! He is worthy to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength! He is worthy to receive honor and glory and praise!”All creatures in heaven, on earth, under the earth, and on the sea were speaking. The whole creation was speaking. I heard all of them say,“ Praise and honor belong to the one who sits on the throne and to the Lamb! Glory and power belong to God for ever and ever!”The four living creatures said,“ Amen.” And the elders fell down and worshiped.

The priests and Levites took their positions. The Levites played the Lord’ s musical instruments. King David had made them for praising the Lord. They were used when he gave thanks to the Lord. He said,“ His faithful love continues forever.” Across from where the Levites were, the priests blew their trumpets. All the people of Israel were standing.

After these things I heard a roar in heaven. It sounded like a huge crowd shouting,“ Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God.The way he judges is true and fair. He has judged the great prostitute. She made the earth impure with her terrible sins. God has paid her back for killing those who served him.”Again they shouted,“ Hallelujah! The smoke from her fire goes up for ever and ever.”The 24 elders and the four living creatures bowed down. They worshiped God, who was sitting on the throne. They cried out,“ Amen! Hallelujah!”Then a voice came from the throne. It said,“ Praise our God, all you who serve him! Praise God, all you who have respect for him, both great and small!”Then I heard the noise of a huge crowd. It sounded like the roar of rushing waters and like loud thunder. The people were shouting,“ Hallelujah! Our Lord God is the King who rules over all.

People who sacrifice thank offerings to me honor me. To those who are without blame I will show my power to save.”

At that time Jesus said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children.

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.

If anyone speaks, they should do it as one speaking God’s words. If anyone serves, they should do it with the strength God provides. Then in all things God will be praised through Jesus Christ. Glory and power belong to him for ever and ever. Amen.

People now come to God through him. And he is able to save them completely and for all time. Jesus lives forever. He prays for them.

Because you are human, you find this hard to understand. So I am using an everyday example to help you understand. You used to give yourselves to be slaves to unclean living. You were becoming more and more evil. Now give yourselves to be slaves to right living. Then you will become holy.

I’m like a gate. Anyone who enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out. And they will find plenty of food.

Then the two choirs that sang and gave thanks took their places in God’s house. So did I. So did half of the officials.

In days to come, the people of Israel will sing,“ Lord, we will praise you. You were angry with us. But now your anger has turned away from us. And you have brought us comfort.God, you are the one who saves us. We will trust in you. Then we won’t be afraid. Lord, you are the one who gives us strength. You are the one who keeps us safe. Lord, you have saved us.”

After some time, Cain gathered some things he had grown. He brought them as an offering to the Lord.And Abel also brought an offering. He brought the fattest parts of some animals from his flock. They were the first animals born to their mothers. The Lord was pleased with Abel and his offering.

At that time Jesus was full of joy through the Holy Spirit. He said,“ I praise you, Father. You are Lord of heaven and earth. You have hidden these things from wise and educated people. But you have shown them to little children. Yes, Father. This is what you wanted to do.

Open for me the gates where the godly can go in. I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.

Jesus answered,“ I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

I will praise God’s name by singing to him. I will bring him glory by giving him thanks.That will please the Lord more than offering him an ox. It will please him more than offering him a bull with its horns and hooves.

Then Hezekiah said,“ You have set yourselves apart to the Lord. Come and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to his temple.” So the whole community brought sacrifices and thank offerings. Everyone who wanted to brought burnt offerings.

Lord, I will praise you among the nations. I will sing the praises of your name.

They sang to the Lord. They praised him. They gave thanks to him. They said,“ The Lord is good. His faithful love to Israel continues forever.” All the people gave a loud shout. They praised the Lord. They were glad because the foundation of the Lord’ s temple had been laid.

We want you to give thanks with joy to the Father. He has made you fit to have what he will give to all his holy people. You will all receive a share in the kingdom of light.

After this I looked, and there in front of me was a huge crowd of people. They stood in front of the throne and in front of the Lamb. There were so many that no one could count them. They came from every nation, tribe and people. That’s true no matter what language they spoke. They were wearing white robes. In their hands they were holding palm branches.They cried out in a loud voice,“ Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne. Salvation also belongs to the Lamb.”All the angels were standing around the throne. They were standing around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces in front of the throne and worshiped God.They said,“ Amen! May praise and glory and wisdom be given to our God for ever and ever. Give him thanks and honor and power and strength. Amen!”

Each of the four living creatures had six wings. Each creature was covered all over with eyes. It had eyes even under its wings. Day and night, they never stop saying,“‘ Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God who rules over all.’( Isaiah 6:3) He was, and he is, and he will come.”The living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to the one who sits on the throne. He lives for ever and ever.At the same time, the 24 elders fall down and worship the one who sits on the throne. He lives for ever and ever. They lay their crowns in front of the throne. They say,“ You are worthy, our Lord and God! You are worthy to receive glory and honor and power. You are worthy because you created all things. They were created and they exist. This is the way you planned it.”

Let the message about Christ live among you like a rich treasure. Teach and correct one another wisely. Teach one another by singing psalms and hymns and songs from the Spirit. Sing to God with thanks in your hearts.Do everything you say or do in the name of the Lord Jesus. Always give thanks to God the Father through Christ.
