"I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen." (Luther's Morning Prayer
Friday, April 7, 2022 - Day 97 - (Today’s Bible readings: Isaiah 53; Psalm 22; Hebrews 4:14-16, 5:7-9; John 18:1-19:42)
GOOD FRIDAY... ALL FOR YOU!
Please click on this link to focus on what Jesus experienced that first Good Friday as He traveled the Via Delarosa for you:
● For the believer in Christ, sin, death and the devil were finished, defeated, and crushed once and for all when Jesus declared “IT IS FINISHED!”
● For the believer in Christ, the gates of heaven are now open and waiting.
● For the believer in Christ, reconciliation with God has been accomplished.
My Good Friday prayer for you is that you believe that Jesus died for you and that your mortal enemies of sin, death and the devil have been totally defeated for you. If so, then please join in praying this perfect responsive prayer.
What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine for ever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love for Thee. Amen.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path” (Psalm 119:105 ), is the theme for this three-year journey through the entire Old Testament once (the Psalms - twice yearly), and the New Testament twice. There will be daily readings from the O.T., Psalms and the N.T. Special days on the church calendar will be highlighted with appropriate readings. This calendar has been compiled by representatives of the Lutheran Church of Canada, the North American Lutheran Church and the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.

The “assigned” daily readings will appear on a daily basis in this blog. May the Lord bless your meditation upon His precious life-giving Word!
