"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)

TRULY ONE OF A KIND
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.” (Hebrews 1:1-3 ESV)
Jesus is truly one of a kind!
● He speaks to us through the Word of God.
● He participated in the Creation of the world.
● He is the radiance of the glory of God because He IS God!
● He is the all-powerful Word (John 1:1ff).
● He made atonement for our sins by dying on the cross.
● He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father.
● He will return to claim His Church (all believers) for eternity.
Beautiful Savior, Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, Praise adoration
Now and forevermore be thine!
(Beautiful Savior, Lutheran Service Book, CPH, 2006, # 537 stanza 4)
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for being my Beautiful Savior. You are my everything. Amen.
Pastor David Paape
