"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)
Sunday, June 18, 2023 - Day 169 - (Today’s Bible readings: Jeremiah 17:19-27; Psalm 137; Acts 10:34-48)
EVERYONE AND ANYONE
“To him all the prophets bear witness that everyone who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name.” (Acts 10:43 ESV)
What GOOD NEWS! Jesus offers forgiveness to everyone and anyone who believes in Him. And what is that we are to believe? Simply this... Jesus died for all, and that includes you.
● No matter who you are, JESUS DIED FOR YOU!
● No matter what you have done, JESUS DIED FOR YOU!
● No matter what is going on in your life today, JESUS DIED FOR YOU!
● No matter how you feel about yourself, JESUS DIED FOR YOU!
● No matter what you may be afraid of today, JESUS DIED FOR YOU!
So, believe, repent and be at peace - Jesus died for you and paid for all of your sins!
1. Jesus refuge of the weary,
Blest Redeemer whom we love,
Fountain in life’s desert dreary,
Savior from the world above:
Often have Your eyes, offended,
Gazed upon the sinner’s fall;
Yet upon the cross extended,
You have borne the pain of all.
(Jesus, Refuge of the Weary, Lutheran Service Book #423 -1)
Father, thank You for the gift of salvation through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Make me a faithful witness of Your love. Amen.
“See” you at the Communion rail this morning!
