To Treasure Your Death

Sacrificial Lamb,
Death is not something we celebrate. Our hearts are heavy when headlines highlight killings or casualties. We mourn the loss of our loved ones and grieve with others when they experience the same pain. Death hits us hard.

And your death is no different. And yet, it is at the very same time radically different, nothing like any other death. For as much as your death tears us apart, knowing that our sin necessitated it, we also rejoice because of it! Your death took the place of our death. Your death canceled our debt. Your death satisfied the Father’s wrath. Your death guaranteed our life. So we call this Friday Good.

A thousand times over, thank you.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For the Certainty of Salvation

Saving Lord,
While each day has plenty of uncertainties and unknowns of its own, I thank you that my eternal salvation is not one of them! The Bible spells it out so clearly that even a child can understand and believe that you love us so much that you sent Jesus into this world to live and die for us. In Jesus every perfect requirement of heaven has been met. In Jesus every condemning sin has been paid for and canceled. Though faith in him I am never wondering where I stand with you, because he came and carried out all that was necessary for me. Let me find joyful security in my salvation every single day, and lead me to make it known to others in every possible way.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
