Jesus, You who shared glory with the Father before the world's creation, entered this sinful world, faced blasphemy, mockery, and death on a Roman cross. You, the author and giver of life, tasted death. You, the holy One, became sin. You, the Light of the world, experienced darkness. Yet You rose from the dead, conquering sin and darkness. You offer life, light, and immortality to all who believe in You.

Jesus, this world would be a frightening place if it were not for the reality of Your presence with Your people and Your eternal plans.

Jesus, only You can take evil, turn it for the good of people and the glory of God, and bring about the saving of many lives. We need You!!!
