Butterflies. New - no longer old - 2 Corinthians 5V11-21

Our loving Father, your Son became sin for us, so that we might become the righteousness of God.
He was estranged from you so that we might be reconciled.
He died so that we might live.
We are now ‘new creations’.
May we be controlled by the love of Christ for us
As we seek to be good ambassadors for you in the world.
Making your appeal through us – be reconciled to God
Amen.

Romans 3:21-31

Father you have taken unrighteous us

And made us righteous.

We who have sinned and fallen short;

    Are justified;

    Recipients of grace;

    Redeemed;

    Atoned for;

At the cost of Jesus blood sacrifice.

You have punished our sin and changed our status.

    May we know this glory;

    Trust your grace;

    Turn towards your mercy;

    Enjoy your favour;

    Revel in our adoption;

    Celebrate our forgiveness!

We are grateful indeed.

Amen
