Amen, Maudeen! What a Word of God honoring prayer!
Lord, we praise Your holy name. You did not have to share Your glory with mankind yet You chose to put Your love on display in man.
You made man in Your image so we could freely choose to partake in the vast riches of Your glory. Each of us have chosen poorly and sinned against You, not just once but often, by thinking, saying & doing things that do not please You.
Yet in your mercy You became the sacrifice for us. So now we don’t have sinless life as our goal, but loving and trusting the sinless Savior, Jesus Christ, who perfectly fulfilled every jot and tittle of the law in our place.
Our blessed Messiah sacrificed Himself, died, then rose from that borrowed tomb and is exalted in heaven this day. He intercedes for us who put our trust in Him and when the Father says, go get My children, He will indeed return.
This is God’s will concerning us, that we would receive the perfect Gift of Jesus in exchange for our sins.
Lord give a double portion of Your faith, love and understanding to all that hear this precious truth deep in their souls and cast their cares on the Only One who can save them from righteous judgment. In the only name that saves, Jesus Christ, I pray.
2 Corinthians 9:15
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
