Dear Heavenly Father, on this day, we remember the sacrifice that Jesus made for us on the cross. We thank you for the gift of your Son, who gave His life so that we might have eternal life. As we reflect on the events of this day, we are humbled by the depth of your love for us. Help us to fully grasp the significance of what Jesus did for us, and to live our lives in a way that honors His sacrifice. Father, may we never forget the pain and suffering that He endured on the cross, and may we always be grateful for the forgiveness and salvation that He offers. Lord, we ask that you would draw us closer to you today and always. Fill us with your love and your grace, and help us to walk in the path that you have set before us. May we be a light in the darkness, sharing the hope and joy that comes from knowing you.
"He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed." (1 Peter 2:24)
