Dear Jesus, Sweet Lamb of God,
How I long to be like John the Baptist—a burning, shining lamp who calls out… “Look! Look to the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” Thank you for the work you have done so that you can remove it as far as the East is from the West and throw it into the sea of forgetfulness. Our sin binds us. It makes us sick. It confuses us and makes us ridden with guilt. It is a disease destroying our souls. But You, Lamb of God, You gave Your life so that our sin can be dealt with. We can be healed and be made whole to become the humans You created us to be, reflecting Your glory.
Although Your work is finished, You are still the Lamb seated on the throne, interceding for us and taking away our sins. One day, I will behold You, fall before You, and sing with the angels, the living creatures— every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea and all that is in them… “To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honor and glory and might forever and ever!” You are worthy, Jesus.
Jesus, let Your spirit remain on me. I need the power of Your Spirit to help me reveal you to the world. You are the Chosen One, the Lamb who takes away the sins of the whole world. I can’t help but sing, “O, for a thousand tongues to sing my Redeemer’s praise! The glories of my God and King, The triumphs of His grace. My gracious Master and my God assist me to proclaim. To spread through all the earth abroad the honors of Thy name! He breaks the power of canceled sin, He sets the prisoner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me.”
To You be all glory, honor, and blessing,
Amen.
