Opening Prayer
Adoration (1 Peter 2:24)
Jesus, I praise You because You chose to stand as my substitute. You took my death sentence. I was guilty and yet will stand perfectly forgiven and clothed in Your righteousness throughout eternity. “[You] bore [my] sins in [your] body on the cross … by [your] wounds [I] have been healed.” You are beyond amazing!
