Jesus for Us.
Today’s Bible Verse: Hebrews 12:2 ESV
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.
Alleluia! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
Our Lord Jesus suffered humiliation and pain like no other, and He did it all for us. His Father sent Him into this world to save His people from their sins. Jesus fulfilled His Father’s command through life, death, and resurrection. Today, he lives forever. While we are not at the celebration of Christ’s ascension as of yet, our Lord Jesus sits at His Father’s right hand awaiting His second coming.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
