In what ways do you see this prophecy as a vision of Jesus Christ? Second Reading The opening verses of the Revelation of John affirm Jesus as "the firstborn of the dead and ruler of the kings of the earth." How is this belief about Jesus fundamental to our faith as Christians? Gospel Reading During his trial, Jesus tells Pilate that his followers "listen" to his voice. How is listening to Jesus' voice a spiritual exercise for you?
