Lord and God,
As the ancient gates and the ancient walls were raised again in Ezra’s day, so you have done a new work just like the old in Christ. The King of Glory has come to your earth; all its fullness is his. Even as Gentile Kings and nations offered their tribute to build the temple, Saints unknown from Macedonia and Achaia offered their tribute to the building of God’s holy habitation.
Those who have never been told of him will see. Those who have never heard will understand. Christ is not king of the Jews only, but his light is for all. May they come from around the world to participate in his body. Praise the Lord, you Gentiles. Let all the peoples extol him.
