Mark 8; Colossians 1; Mark 8

Lord Jesus, I say that you are the Christ, the son of the almighty Living God. You are the image of the invisible God, the first born of all creation. By you all things were created that were created.

You were before all things and in you all things consist. You are the head of the church which is your body, and you are preeminent in everything.

It pleases God, our father, that all the fullness of almighty God dwells in you. By your person and obedience to the father, I have been reconciled to God. I have peace with God, our Father, through your cross, Lord Jesus.

I once was alienated, but now I have been reconciled to our Father by you, Lord Jesus. Now, hallelujah, by your grace and sacrifice I can stand holy and blameless before the presence of God. Thank you.

I am mindful of the things of God. I desire to follow you, Lord Jesus. I deny myself. I take up my cross, and I follow you. You are my Lord and Savior, and my life belongs to you. I am saved.
