Nothing but Christ

"For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified."

- 1 Corinthians 2:2



"Christ, in his person and offices, is the sum and substance of the gospel, and ought to be the great subject of a gospel minister's preaching."

- Matthew Henry



Jesus Christ is...

our Righteousness,

our Redeemer,

our Mediator,

our Peace,

the true Light,

the Word made flesh,

the Great High Priest,

the image of the invisible God,

the Head of the Church,

the radiance of the glory of God,

the founder and perfecter of our faith,

the bread that came down from Heaven,

the Good Shepherd,

the Resurrection and the Life,

The Way,

The Truth,

The Life,

the Lamb that was slain,

the death-conqueror,

The King of Kings,

The Lord of Lords.



Son of God, truly you are the only Savior. Jesus, You came to save Your people from their sin, we love You. You did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but you made yourself nothing, taking the form of a servant. You, the Author of life, became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God for the glory of God. After making purification for sins, You sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. You have lavished your love upon us; a perfect love that has cast out all fear. Jesus You are Lord, You reign, and You uphold the universe by the word of Your power. You are our Salvation, and You are our perfect example of love and obedience as we seek to express our gratitude and adoration to You for who You are and what You have done. Blessed Savior, by Your empowering Spirit may we decrease as You increase in our lives. May our thoughts, words, and deeds reflect your image more and more. In Your holy name, Amen.
