Look
then on Jesus, the author and preserver of faith: in complete
sinlessness he suffered, and at the hands of those who were his own,
and was numbered among the wicked. As you drink the cup of the Lord
Jesus (how glorious it is!), give thanks to the Lord, the giver of
all blessings. May the God of love and peace set your hearts at rest
and speed you on your journey; may he meanwhile shelter you from
disturbance by others in the hidden recesses of his love, until he
brings you at last into that place of complete plenitude where you
will repose for ever in the vision of peace, in the security of
trust, and in the restful enjoyment of his riches.
