Bible Reading
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-2 ESV)
Hymn ELH 394:2-3 We Thank Thee, Jesus, Dearest Friend
Ascended to His throne on high,
Hid from our sight, yet always nigh,
He rules and reigns at God’s right hand
And has all power at His command.
Alleluia.
The man who trusts in Him is blest
And finds in Him eternal rest;
This world’s allurements we despise
And fix on Christ alone our eyes.
Alleluia.
Prayer
Jesus, my Savior, You endured the shame of the cross, dying to pay for my sins and the sins of all. In joy and thanks for all You have done for me, help me to avoid sin and live according to Your will. Amen.
