“Love Divine, All Loves Excelling “ Ambassador Hymnal # 226
Confession of Sin
Heavenly Father, we rejoice in the coming of Your Son, Jesus Christ, to live, suffer, and die for our sins. We know that we cannot have eternal life without His costly sacrifice. Thank You that he became our sacrificial lamb so that we might have the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. We believe Your Word which tells us that “there is therefore no condemnation to those who are in Christ
Jesus, the Lord.” Forgive us and cleanse us from all our sins and help us in all of our words, thoughts, and deeds to honor You and Your sacrifice that was given for us. In the Name of Jesus, our Lord, Amen

rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who
have been trained by it.

Luke 9:18-20
18 And it happened that while He was praying alone, the disciples were with Him, and He questioned them, saying, “Who do the people say that I am?”
19 They answered and said, “John the Baptist, and others say Elijah; but others, that one of the prophets of old has risen again.”20 And He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” And Peter answered and said, “The Christ of God.”
