The following are several true statements about Jesus Christ.  I encourage you to repeat them throughout the day along with the declarations from yesterday.

God has revealed himself principally through Jesus Christ.  Jesus Christ went about doing good things and healing all who were oppressed of the devil.  Jesus Christ reveals God as Father.  Through Jesus, I can see the heart of God.  The Spirit of God anointed Jesus Christ to preach the Gospel, to deliver the captives, to heal the sick and the brokenhearted, and to bring God’s salvation to humanity.  Jesus Christ, as the Messiah, had a ministry of preaching, teaching, healing, and casting out devils.  His salvation was God’s rescue of me from the things that would diminish or destroy me in my spirit, mind, body, relationships, and other aspects of my humanity.

Jesus Christ was wounded for my transgressions.  He was bruised for my iniquities.  The chastisement for my peace was upon him and by his stripes (with his stripes), I am healed (i.e., healing has come to me).  Jesus Christ is now my Great High Priest who can sympathize and empathize with my weaknesses.  He can be touched with the feeling of my infirmities.

In Christ,
