Heavenly Father, I rejoice greatly for Jesus, my wonderful Saviour. Thank You that He was prepared, before the foundation of the world, to be slain for my sins and for the sins the whole world. Thank You that Your Word of truth wrote history in advance so that we would know that Jesus is the Son of God Who takes away the sin of the world. Thank You that one day the nation of Israel will once again shout out in tearful praise and joyful thanks: "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" In Jesus' name, AMEN.
