Daily Light Devotions - March 19 - Morning

God, having raised up his Son Jesus ...

God, having raised up his servant, sent him to you first, to bless you by turning every one of you from your wickedness." 1

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 2

For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 3

waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. 4

but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy." 5

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, 6

For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily, and you have been filled in him, who is the head of all rule and authority. 7

And from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. 8

He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? 9
