We
confess our sins to You, Lord - ‘We sinned... All of us have become like one
who is unclean, and all our righteous acts are like filthy rags’. We
look to You for forgiveness - ‘Do not remember our sins for ever’
(Isaiah 64:5-6,9). We know that You hear and answer our prayer. Jesus Christ
is Your Answer to our prayer. He has ‘come down’ from heaven to earth.
‘The Son of the Most High’ has been ‘born’ into our world. Jesus Christ
is Your way of saying ‘Here am I! Here am I!’. He is ‘God with us’
(64:1; 65:1; Luke 1:32,35; Matthew 1:23). ‘The blood of Jesus, God’s
Son, cleanses us from all sin.’ Help us, Lord, to ‘confess our sins.’ ‘The blood of
Jesus, God’s Son, cleanses us from all sin’ - Help us to come to You with
faith, believing that You ‘will forgive our sins’. (1 John 1:7,9). May we rejoice in Jesus, our Saviour!
By Your grace, Lord, You call us to be Your soldiers and servants. Help us not to be "fearful and fainthearted" (Deuteronomy 19:19). Help us to be "good soldiers of Jesus Christ" (2 Timothy 2:3). When we hear your challenging question: "Who is on the Lord's side?", may we give our committed answer: "By Thy call of mercy, by Thy grace divine, we are on the Lord's side; Saviour, we are Thine."
