What power in Jesus’ words! They shake our world, and challenge our most cherished beliefs. They show our self-reliance to be a sham.
I want to find a place in my heart for his words, O God. Let them penetrate and transform. Let them bring to me the Spirit of truth.
I hear and respond, O Lord. In my hearing and responding, be my Father. We honor the Son, whose day Abraham saw, and we honor the Father, who sent us the Son.
We never want to see death, our Father. So help us to obey the Lord Jesus, whom none can prove guilty of sin.
Use the truth to free us so that we may be really free. As your children, we desire to remain with you forever.
