MOVING FORWARD
Heavenly Father, thank You for bringing Jesus to show us who You are in the flesh. Thank You too for showing us so many ways in which He was so different from the rest of creation, yet identified with our experience in the flesh. We recognize our need to definitively claim who Jesus really is. We also recognize that our sin nature clouds our ability to see him perfectly. We ask You to help us to see Him more clearly, that we would be conformed to His image. In Jesus’ name, amen.
