Dear Lord,
We thank you for a perfect green leaf, a perfect blue sky, a perfect newborn baby, a perfect snowflake and the Perfect Lamb of God. He was flawless in every way but took on the sin of an imperfect world. He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities and the chastisement of our peace was upon Him and with His stripes we are healed. He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so He opened not His mouth. Yet it pleased You LORD to bruise Him, You saw the travail of His soul and was satisfied; You looked into eternity and beheld the happiness of those who through Christ's humiliation had received pardon and everlasting life. Your ears caught shout of the redeemed, the ransomed ones singing the Song of Moses and His Lamb. We praise You Father for Your Provision for us. Please keep us ever mindful of the Cost of the gift of salvation is my prayer in Your Righteous Son's name, Amen.
