Colossians 1; John 14

Lord Jesus, in your life and in your word, I see the image of our invisible, heavenly Father. It pleased the Father that, in you, all the fullness of God dwelt.

Through your life and sacrifice as God in the flesh, you reconciled all that is yours back to you. You made peace through your blood on your cross.

Now each of us, who were once alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, are reconciled in the body of your flesh through death, and made holy and blameless and above reproach in your sight.

Father, now I know the riches of your will and your means for my salvation and transformation. Your will is for me to see Christ and believe in him as Lord and all and all.

Your means is to give me a new nature and make me a new man by filling me with your Holy Spirit. Now I live in your divine glory, Father, because you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, make your abode in me.
