He came to bring the Mourners Joy

For He hath made Him Sin for us, Who knew no Sin; that we might be made righteous of God in Him.

When I’m suffering in Sin, O Lord Jesus Christ, remind me how You died on the Cross and took the full Burden of my Sins upon Yourself. If I look at it through true Faith, the Lord allowed Himself to be tortured and gave Himself up to die for a lost Man, blessing me beyond measure.

How can my many Sins harm me now? God’s great Grace has paid for my guilt through Christ’s precious Blood. I no longer fear the torment and Fires of Hell. Now and for the rest of my Life, O Lord Jesus Christ, I praise and thank You from the bottom of my Heart: for Your cries of fear and distress, for Your innocent Death, and for Your Love and Faithfulness.

Lord, never let me forget how much Your bitter suffering cost. Help me forget my sinful Desires that I may praise, thank and worship you for ever. Help me to bear my Cross and suffering patiently even through shame and death. Grant it, my Lord and God, that I may deny the World and follow the example You have set before me.

Let me do unto others what You have done for me. Gladly serving my Neighbours without selfishness or hypocrisy. To do this out of pure Love as Thou hast shown me. Lord let the Blood from Your Wound console me in my final Hours and reassure me. I trust in Your Grace that You will accept me, and that I will be with You for ever. Amen.
