A Prayer of Thanks for Jesus Christ
Father we give thanks that in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. We give thanks Father that through Jesus all things were made; and without Jesus there was nothing made that has been made.
We give thanks Father that in Christ Jesus only, there is life; and that life is the light of the people of God. I pray that the light of Christ in us would shine in this dark world Lord even though the darkness has not understood it.
Lord Jesus you came into this world, and though the world was made through you, the world did not recognize you. You came to that which was your own Jesus, but not even your own received you.
So Jesus we give thanks to God Almighty that for all of us who have received you, for those of us who believe and hold firm to your name, our God has given us the right to become children of God. Because of you Christ, we are children born not just of natural descent, nor of human decisions or a husband's will, but we are born of the living God.
So we declare the truth of your word Father that the Word of God in the form of Jesus Christ became flesh and made his dwelling among us. The brothers, they saw your glory Jesus, the glory of the One and the Only, who came from the Father, full of grace Jesus, you are full of truth.
For God gave his people the Law through Moses; but grace and truth came through you Jesus Christ. And we confess that no one has ever seen you God, but we know and we rejoice that our God the One and Only Jesus Christ, who is at your side Father has made you known to us.
In Christ Name I Pray.
Amen
John 1:1,3-5,10-14,17-18
