Supremacy of Christ Monologue:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He is the image of the invisible God. By Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities--all things have been created through Him and for Him. He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image . . . whom I have created for My glory.” She took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and Adam ate. Through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned. And men began to multiply on the face of the land.

 

But all of us like sheep have gone astray. Each of us has turned to his own way. For all have sinned, and fall short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death. The LORD will judge his people. It is a terrifying thing to fall into the hands of the living God. But God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life. (Christ) emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, being made in the likeness of men.

 

And (Mary) gave birth to her firstborn son. And the Word became flesh. The child grew, and waxed strong, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near."

After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John, and led them up a high mountain. There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. A bright cloud enveloped them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!" The disciples came to Him privately, saying, "Tell us, what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?" And Jesus said to them, "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come. And they will see the son of man coming on the clouds of the sky with power and great glory.”

 

Then men seized Jesus and arrested him and took him to Caiaphas, the high priest. The high priest said to him, “I charge you under oath by the living God: Tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God.”  “Yes, it is as you say. In the future you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest tore his clothes and said, "He has spoken blasphemy! Why do we need any more witnesses? What do you think?" They answered, “He is worthy of death." And when they came unto the place which is called the skull, there they crucified him.

 

The LORD was pleased to crush Him. Smitten of God, He laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. Christ died for sins to bring us to God. And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in his own new tomb. As it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone. The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen.”

 

To the apostles Jesus presented Himself alive after His suffering, appearing to them over a period of forty days. And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth." And after He had said these things, He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. He was clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His chest with a golden sash. His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like flames of fire. God said, Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. (God) seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion.

 

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting. And Peter raised his voice and declared to them: “This Jesus God raised up again, to which we are all witnesses.  Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, He has poured forth this which you both see and hear. Therefore, let all the house of Israel know for certain that God has made Him both Lord and Christ--this Jesus whom you crucified.” Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said “what shall we do?" Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.”

 

The grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus. The Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them to meet the Lord in the air. When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them one from one another. Then He will also say to those on His left, “Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels.” Then the King will say to those on His right, “Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”

There was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, singing: "To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be praise and honor and glory and power, forever and ever! Jesus said, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.     Behold, I am coming soon! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
