Jesus for the World

I stumbled across this video (Brooke Fraser’s Shadowfeet) and this passage came to mind…

Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals, for you were slain,
and by your blood you ransomed people for God

from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
– Revelation 5:9b-10 (ESV)
