Sin's Defeat

Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." Luke 23:34

Everlasting God, forgive us for what we have done! Merciful God, your grace is sufficient, sin and death have been defeated. In our ignorance, brokenness, and wanton ways we foolishly refute the irrefutable. Have we not learned O Lord, your will - Father, Son, Holy Spirit, is the very essence of love and our existence.

We pray, Sovereign God, that as this day unfolds, we will be faithful to the One who, in love, as we stood watching, took on and became the sin of the world. In the name of Jesus Christ...
