John 10; Isaiah 60 & 61

Lord Jesus, you are the good shepherd, and you laid your life down for me. No one took your life from you but you laid it down of your own accord in obedience to our father.

Now, by your perfect sacrifice, you have become my everlasting light, and your father, my God and Father, has become my glory.

My days of mourning have ended. Now, by your grace and decree, I am the righteousness of God, and I possess your kingdom forever. I am glorified in you, Lord Jesus.

The Spirit of God is upon you, Lord Jesus, and our father has anointed you to bring good news to the poor. He has sent you to bind up the brokenhearted and to proclaim liberty to the captive. You proclaim the timing of God’s favor and the sure promise of the Father’s vengeance.

You, Lord Jesus, have given me a beautiful covering to replace ashes. You have anointed me with gladness and covered me with a garment of praise. Now by your grace and your indwelling spirit, I am an oak of your righteousness and a planting that gives you glory.
