A Prayer For Good Friday

Father, our hearts are stirred as we consider the extent of Your love in sending Jesus to die for our sins.nAs He wept over Jerusalem we see His tender humanity in relation to our sin problem. How grateful we are that Jesus yielded Himself fully to be used as a sin sacrifice, once for all, not just for Jerusalem but for peoples of every tribe and language; for all generations prior to His sacrificial death and for all who follow.nWe thank You, God, that You made Jesus who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness that You require in order that we might have forgiveness of sins and become joint heirs with Jesus. We walk in newness of life, in the power of the resurrected Christ, with the living hope of eternal life in heaven.nPraise You, Father, for this finished work of Christ, that redeems our soul, once and for all! Amen.
