LESSON: So who is the One God made who had no sin? His Name is Jesus, the Son of God, and the Savior of mankind. Jesus who was without sin accepted the shame and pain, and eventually died for us. He paid a price He didn't owe. He paid the price for us all. Now, we are all bought at a cost. We all belong to Him. Our body, mind, soul, and thoughts should be used to His glory. Our body should be His temple, and our mind should be His workshop. Through Christ Jesus we are called Children of God. Isn't it awesome to be called the 'righteousness' of God? We're more than righteous. We are His righteousness in Jesus, and the good news is that we can be all these at no cost at all because Jesus already paid the price long ago.
LET US PRAY: Lord Jesus, thank You for taking the shame and the pain for me. Thank You for laying down Your life that I may have mine and have it in abundance. Lord, I declare today that I belong to You; my body, mind, soul, and thoughts. I declare that my body is Your temple, and my mind is Your workshop. Possess my body and use me to do many mighty things for You. Use me as an instrument to carry out Your Will here on earth. Lord, control my mind and bless it with wisdom to spread Your Word just as You want it to. Lord, thank You that through You, I am led to the Father. Thank You for blessing me with the privilege of being one of the many children of the Father. Thank You that I can call myself the 'righteousness' of the Father, and thank You for giving me all these at no cost. You're awesome, and words cannot adequately describe how great and mighty You are. In Your Name I give thanks and praise. Amen.
