that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else— not only in this world but also in the world to come.

“ Yes, I know all this is true in principle. But how can a person be declared innocent in God’s sight?If someone wanted to take God to court, would it be possible to answer him even once in a thousand times?For God is so wise and so mighty. Who has ever challenged him successfully?“ Without warning, he moves the mountains, overturning them in his anger.He shakes the earth from its place, and its foundations tremble.If he commands it, the sun won’t rise and the stars won’t shine.He alone has spread out the heavens and marches on the waves of the sea.He made all the stars— the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the southern sky.He does great things too marvelous to understand. He performs countless miracles.

“ The dead tremble— those who live beneath the waters.The underworld is naked in God’s presence. The place of destruction is uncovered.God stretches the northern sky over empty space and hangs the earth on nothing.He wraps the rain in his thick clouds, and the clouds don’t burst with the weight.He covers the face of the moon, shrouding it with his clouds.He created the horizon when he separated the waters; he set the boundary between day and night.The foundations of heaven tremble; they shudder at his rebuke.By his power the sea grew calm. By his skill he crushed the great sea monster.His Spirit made the heavens beautiful, and his power pierced the gliding serpent.These are just the beginning of all that he does, merely a whisper of his power. Who, then, can comprehend the thunder of his power?”

bringing words of praise to their lips. May they have abundant peace, both near and far,” says the Lord, who heals them.

The Lord is king! Let the nations tremble! He sits on his throne between the cherubim. Let the whole earth quake!The Lord sits in majesty in Jerusalem, exalted above all the nations.Let them praise your great and awesome name. Your name is holy!

And they cried to the mountains and the rocks,“ Fall on us and hide us from the face of the one who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb.

Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. Everything in the heavens and on earth is yours, O Lord, and this is your kingdom. We adore you as the one who is over all things.Wealth and honor come from you alone, for you rule over everything. Power and might are in your hand, and at your discretion people are made great and given strength.

Lord, there is no one like you! For you are great, and your name is full of power.Who would not fear you, O King of nations? That title belongs to you alone! Among all the wise people of the earth and in all the kingdoms of the world, there is no one like you.

All glory to him who alone is God, our Savior through Jesus Christ our Lord. All glory, majesty, power, and authority are his before all time, and in the present, and beyond all time! Amen.

Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near.

Are you as strong as God? Can you thunder with a voice like his?All right, put on your glory and splendor, your honor and majesty.Give vent to your anger. Let it overflow against the proud.Humiliate the proud with a glance; walk on the wicked where they stand.Bury them in the dust. Imprison them in the world of the dead.Then even I would praise you, for your own strength would save you.

The high and lofty one who lives in eternity, the Holy One, says this:“ I live in the high and holy place with those whose spirits are contrite and humble. I restore the crushed spirit of the humble and revive the courage of those with repentant hearts.

Jesus came and told his disciples,“ I have been given all authority in heaven and on earth.

And all of this is a gift from God, who brought us back to himself through Christ. And God has given us this task of reconciling people to him.For God was in Christ, reconciling the world to himself, no longer counting people’s sins against them. And he gave us this wonderful message of reconciliation.So we are Christ’s ambassadors; God is making his appeal through us. We speak for Christ when we plead,“ Come back to God!”For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.

“ After this time had passed, I, Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven. My sanity returned, and I praised and worshiped the Most High and honored the one who lives forever. His rule is everlasting, and his kingdom is eternal.All the people of the earth are nothing compared to him. He does as he pleases among the angels of heaven and among the people of the earth. No one can stop him or say to him,‘ What do you mean by doing these things?’“ When my sanity returned to me, so did my honor and glory and kingdom. My advisers and nobles sought me out, and I was restored as head of my kingdom, with even greater honor than before.“ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and glorify and honor the King of heaven. All his acts are just and true, and he is able to humble the proud.”

God blesses those who work for peace, for they will be called the children of God.

And don’t let us yield to temptation, but rescue us from the evil one.
