SENDING OUT

Valediction (from Revelation 22)
Behold, Jesus is coming soon. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of this book.
Behold! Jesus is coming soon to judge the earth with righteousness and truth.
He is the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.”
And let the one who hears say, “Come,” and let the one who is thirsty come;
let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
Jesus is coming soon. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!

Benediction
