As we come off an epic Easter weekend, there is one prayer that I remind myself I want to continuously pray. It is inspired by the words in I Peter 3:18, “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit.” May we always remember and never forget what Christ has done for us. Jesus, the Righteous One, died for us, the unrighteous. He didn’t have to but did so out of love. Jesus demonstrated His amazing love and devotion by sacrificing His life for you and for me.
May we always remember and never forget to thank Him for what He has done for us. Because of the death and resurrection of Jesus we have forgiveness of sins in this life and the promise of everlasting life in Heaven. “Lord, thank you for enduring the Cross and paying for our sins. You did not sin, we did. Yet You took our place. And because You did we can be forgiven and one day live forever in Heaven with You. Thank You, Jesus. We owe You our everything. Amen.”
