It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God — that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. 1 Corinthians 1:30

It is God’s grace that has brought us into a saving relationship with Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

As believers, we recognize that Jesus’ sacrifice on the Cross was much more than a terrible miscarriage of justice and the murder of a good and decent man.

Jesus is God’s wisdom, a wisdom to convince us of His love.

Jesus is our righteousness; taking our sins upon himself He made us righteous.

Jesus is our ongoing holiness. His blood cleanses us at the beginning and continues to do so today.

Jesus is our holiness; His death means our righteousness.

Jesus is our ransom payment, redeeming us from sin and death.

Jesus is our everything! That makes today a great Friday!

My Prayer…

Almighty and Abba God, thank you for your holiness and righteousness. Thank you for your gracious forgiveness. Thank you for the living example of Jesus. Thank you for the sacrificial example of Jesus. Mold in me a heart like your Son’s heart. Help me to surrender to your will, not mine. Make from me a more usable vessel for your Kingdom work. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
