pray for the lamb that was slain to receive the reward for His sufferings!

Rev. 5:9

"And they sang a new song: 'You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because You were slain, and with Your blood You purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation'"

Missionary-author Don Richardson declares that at this point (as well as several others in Revelation) John "raids the Greek dictionary" to find synonyms for "people group." John wanted to emphasize that no people group is to be left out-all are included in Christ's provision of salvation. How determined Christ is to win back to Himself some from all the peoples of our earth! He loves them all. They are His by right of creation and by right of redemption.

Dear Jesus, give us a vision for the completed Body of Christ, so that our highest priority will be to plant Your Church among every people and nation on earth.
