DAILY PRAYER (BY SPURGEON)
Jesus, we believe in your precious blood. Once for all, it has put away sin; the great sacrifice has made complete atonement; it can never be repeated, it never needs to be. In that one sacrifice we are clean, as many as have believed, and there is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
But Savior, we now sin in another fashion, as children against paternal government, against a Father’s love, and as children we ask to be pardoned. Hide not your face from us, put not your servants away in anger; deal graciously with your children, and let us walk in the light, as God is in the light, and have fellowship with the Father and with the Son, and may joy and peace abound in us.
Amen.
VERSE OF THE DAY (COMMENTARY BY SPURGEON)
“If we walk in the light as he himself is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
If guilt returns, his power may be proved again and again. There is no fear that all my daily slips and shortcomings will not be graciously removed by this precious blood.
