From “raised with Christ” to “subject to your husbands” (Colossians 3:1-11)

Walk in Christ (Colossians 2:6-15)
In Paul's letters, the command to walk is moral exhortation.

The psalmist puts out a clarion call.
The great multitude (Revelation 7:9-17)
As theophanies go, this one is oddly comforting.
