ISAIAH 53:5 (CEV)
By taking our punishment, he made us completely well.
1 PETER 2:24 (ABP)
Christ used his own body to carry our sins onto the cross. With their death, we've been freed to live right.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Through his mission at the cross, Christ freed us from the death grip of sin and we are now positioned to live healthy lives that align with his new resurrected life.
PRAYER
Doctor God, you came up with a solution to our greatest challenge. I confess, though, that I'm inconsistent in taking my medicine. Sometimes I don't even recognize the problems of sin and simply neglect to accept the need for your treatment. Keep me aware so that I can continue to receive the life of Christ into my life. I know that it's all about what you've done to keep me safe and alive. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
Since 2015, I've been modeling one way of using the MORAVIAN DAILY TEXTS* to maintain a daily conversation with God.
