A Verse
Ephesians 1:2
Grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
A Comment
Grace and peace come to us from God our Father through the Lord Jesus Christ. We know this grace and peace because, in Christ, we have become God’s children. Jesus, because His life, death, burial, resurrection, and ascension, has been declared Lord over all and the Christ, the anointed One, who fulfills the promises made to Abraham, Israel, and David. It is only because of Jesus that we can know such grace and peace.
A Prayer
O’ Jesus, thank you for living the life that we could never live and dying the death that we deserved to die so that we might know Your grace and peace. We love you. Fill our hearts with gratefulness. In Your name, Amen.
A Blessing
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
The Lord Jesus Christ
