Thank God for Christ’s Intercession

Thanksgiving 4.23 | KJV

For the intercession which he ever lives to make in the virtue of his satisfaction.

I thank thee that having borne the sins of many, Christ makes intercession for transgressors, Isaiah 53:12(KJV) and prays, not for those only that were given him when he was upon earth, but for all that shall believe on him through their word; that they all may be one. John 17:20-21(KJV)

That I have an Advocate with the Father, even Jesus Christ the righteous, 1 John 2:1(KJV) who is therefore able to save to the uttermost all those that come to God as a Father, by him as a Mediator, seeing he ever lives making intercession. Hebrews 7:25(KJV)

That I have a High Priest taken from among men and ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifice for sin, who can have compassion on the ignorant and on them who are out of the way; Hebrews 5:1-2(KJV) and that he is become the author of eternal salvation to all them that obey him. Hebrews 5:9(KJV)

Thank God for Christ’s Ascension into Heaven

Thanksgiving 4.22 | KJV

For his ascension into heaven, and his sitting at God’s right hand there.

We bless thee that our Lord Jesus has ascended to his Father and our Father, to his God and our God; John 20:17(KJV) is ascended up on high, having led captivity captive, and hath received gifts from men, yea, even for the rebellious also, that the Lord God might dwell among them. Psalm 68:18(KJV)

That as the Forerunner he is for us entered into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us, Hebrews 9:24(KJV) a Lamb, as it had been slain, standing in the midst of the throne. Revelation 5:6(KJV)

That he is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, Hebrews 8:1(KJV) angels and authorities and powers being made subject to him. 1 Peter 3:22(KJV)

That he is gone before, to prepare a place for us in his Father’s house, where there are many mansions; John 14:2-3(KJV) and though whither he is gone we cannot follow him now, yet we hope to follow him hereafter, John 13:36(KJV) when he shall come again to receive us to himself, that where he is, there we may be also. John 14:3(KJV)

Thank God for Christ’s Resurrection

Thanksgiving 4.21 | KJV

For his resurrection from the dead on the third day.

I thank thee that as he was delivered for my offences, so he arose again for my justification, Romans 4:25(KJV) and was declared to be the Son of God with power, by the resurrection from the dead. Romans 1:4(KJV)

That though he was dead, yet he is alive and lives for evermore, and hath the keys of hell and death; Revelation 1:18(KJV) and being raised from the dead, he dies no more; death hath no more dominion over him. Romans 6:9(KJV)

That now is Christ risen from the dead and is become the first-fruits of them that slept; 1 Corinthians 15:20(KJV) that as in Adam all died, so in Christ all might be made alive, and every one in his own order. 1 Corinthians 15:22-23(KJV)

That God suffered not his Holy One to see corruption, Acts 2:27(KJV) but loosed the pains of death, because it was impossible he should be holden of them, Acts 2:24(KJV) and so declared to all the house of Israel, that the same Jesus whom they crucified is both Lord and Christ. Acts 2:36(KJV)

And that for this end Christ both died and rose and revived, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living, Romans 14:9(KJV) and that whether I wake or sleep, I might live together with him. 1 Thessalonians 5:10(KJV)

Thank God for the Cross of Christ and All Its Benefits (continued)

Thanksgiving 4.20 | KJV

That appearing to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself, Hebrews 9:26(KJV) Christ did by the eternal Spirit offer himself without spot unto God, Hebrews 9:14(KJV) and by his own blood entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for me. Hebrews 9:12(KJV)

That he hath spoiled principalities and powers, and made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in his cross, and hath blotted out the hand-writing of ordinances which was against me, which was contrary to me, taking it out of the way, by nailing it to his cross. Colossians 2:14-15(KJV)

That he is my peace, who, having broken down the middle wall of partition between Jew and Gentile, hath made himself of twain one new man, hath reconciled both unto God in one body, by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby. Ephesians 2:14-16(KJV)

That he hath loved me, and washed me from my sins in his own blood, and hath made me unto my God a king and a priest. Revelation 1:5-6(KJV)

O the height and depth and length and breadth of that love of Christ which passeth knowledge! Ephesians 3:18-19(KJV) that great love wherewith he loved me! Ephesians 2:4(KJV)

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing; Revelation 5:12(KJV) for he was slain, and hath redeemed me to God by his blood. Revelation 5:9(KJV)

Thank God for the Cross of Christ and All Its Benefits

Thanksgiving 4.19 | KJV

For the full satisfaction which Christ made to the justice of God for the sin of man by the blood of his cross, for the purchases, victories, and triumphs of the cross, and for all the precious benefits which flow to me from the dying of the Lord Jesus.

Herein indeed God commendeth his love to me, in that while I was yet a sinner, Christ died for me, Romans 5:8(KJV) that I might be reconciled to him by the death of his Son. Romans 5:10(KJV) Herein is love, not that I loved God, but that he loved me, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for my sins, 1 John 4:10(KJV) and not for mine only but for the sins of the whole world; 1 John 2:2(KJV) that he tasted death for every man, Hebrews 2:9(KJV) that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. Hebrews 2:14(KJV)

I bless thee that by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified; Hebrews 10:14(KJV) that he hath finished transgression, made an end of sin, made reconciliation for iniquity, and hath brought in an everlasting righteousness. Daniel 9:24(KJV)

That he hath redeemed me from the curse of the law by being made a curse for me. Galatians 3:13(KJV)

That what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God hath done by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, who by a sacrifice for sin, condemned sin in the flesh. Romans 8:3(KJV)

That he was wounded for my transgressions and bruised for my iniquities, and that the chastisement of my peace was upon him, and by his stripes I am healed: And that the Lord having laid upon him the iniquity of all his people, Isaiah 53:5-6(KJV) it pleased the Lord to bruise him and put him to grief. Isaiah 53:10(KJV)

Thank God for the Great Encouragement Christ Gave to Poor Sinners to Come to Him

Thanksgiving 4.18 | KJV

For the great encouragement Christ gave to poor sinners to come to him.

I bless thee that Jesus Christ came to call not the righteous, but sinners (such as myself) to repentance, Matthew 9:13(KJV) and had power on earth to forgive sin; Matthew 9:6(KJV) that he came to save his people from their sins, Matthew 1:21(KJV) and is the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world; John 1:29(KJV) and that he is (to his honour, not to his reproach) a friend to publicans and sinners. Matthew 11:19(KJV)

I thank thee for the gracious invitation he gave to those who are weary and heavy laden to come to him for rest: Matthew 11:28(KJV) And for the assurance he hath given that whosoever comes unto him, he will in nowise cast him out. John 6:37(KJV)

That he made a gracious offer, that whosoever thirst might come unto him and drink. John 7:37(KJV)

Thank God for Christ’s Holy Life, Excellent Doctrine, and Glorious Miracles

Thanksgiving 4.17 | KJV

For his holy life, his excellent doctrine, and the glorious miracles he wrought to confirm his doctrine.

I bless thee for the assurance I have that he is a teacher come from God, since no man could do those miracles which he did, except God were with him. John 3:2(KJV)

That thou hast in these last days spoken by thy Son, Hebrews 1:2(KJV) whose doctrine was not his, but his that sent him; John 7:16(KJV) and he spoke as one having authority; Matthew 7:29(KJV) and that I am encouraged to come and learn of him, because he is meek and lowly in heart, and in learning of him I shall find rest to my soul. Matthew 11:29(KJV)

I bless thee that he hath left me an example, that I should follow his steps, in that he did not sin, neither was guile found in his mouth; and when he was reviled, he reviled not again; 1 Peter 2:21-23(KJV) and his meat and drink was to do the will of his Father, John 4:34(KJV) in that he was holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners. Hebrews 7:26(KJV) O that I may be armed with the same mind, 1 Peter 4:1(KJV) and that as he was, so I may be in this world; 1 John 4:17(KJV) and that I may so walk even as he walked. 1 John 2:6(KJV)

I bless thee that the works which he did, the same bore witness of him, that the Father had sent him, John 5:36(KJV) that by his power the blind received their sight, the lame walked, the lepers were cleansed, the deaf heard, the dead were raised up, and the poor had the gospel preached to them, Matthew 11:5(KJV) and even the winds and the sea obeyed him, Matthew 8:27(KJV) for which I glorify the God of Israel. Matthew 15:31(KJV) Doubtless this was the Son of God. Matthew 27:54(KJV)

Thank God for His Gracious Owning of Christ in His Undertaking

Thanksgiving 4.16 | KJV

For God’s gracious owning of him in his undertaking, and in the carrying of it on.

I bless thee that thou wast in Christ reconciling the world to thyself, not imputing their trespasses unto them, and that thou hast committed unto your people the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19(KJV)

That thou hast thyself given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people; Isaiah 55:4(KJV) that he was sanctified and sealed, John 6:27(KJV) and sent into the world; John 10:36(KJV) and that the Father who sent him did not leave him alone, for he always did those things that pleased him. John 8:29(KJV)

Glory be to God in the highest, for in and through Jesus Christ there is on earth peace and good-will towards men. Luke 2:14(KJV)

In this was manifested the love of God towards me, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that I might live through him. 1 John 4:9(KJV)

I thank thee for the power thou hast given him over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as were given him. John 17:2(KJV)

Thank God for the Wonderful Incarnation of the Son of God

Thanksgiving 4.15 | KJV

For the wonderful and mysterious incarnation of the Son of God and his coming into the world.

I bless thee that when the fulness of time was come, thou didst send forth thy Son, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem them that were under the law, that your people might receive the adoption of sons. Galatians 4:4-5(KJV)

That the eternal Word was made flesh and dwelt among men, and there were those who saw his glory, the glory as of the only-begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:14(KJV) And without controversy, great is the mystery of godliness, that God was manifested in the flesh. 1 Timothy 3:16(KJV)

I bless thee that to this end he was born and for this cause he came into the world, that he might bear witness of the truth; John 18:37(KJV) and I believe and am sure that he is that Christ, the Son of the living God; John 6:69(KJV) that it is he that should come, and I am to look for no other.

I bless thee that the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which was lost; Luke 19:10(KJV) that he is come that I might have life and that I might have it more abundantly; John 10:10(KJV) and that for this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8(KJV)

Lord, I receive it as a faithful saying and well worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, even the chief. 1 Timothy 1:15(KJV)

I bless thee that forasmuch as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; Hebrews 2:14(KJV) that he took not on him the nature of angels, but human nature, and was in all things made like unto his brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people; Hebrews 2:16-17(KJV) and that he is not ashamed to call them brethren. Hebrews 2:11(KJV)

And that the first-begotten was brought into the world with a charge given to all the angels of God to worship him. Hebrews 1:6(KJV)

Thank God for the Many Glorious Instances of His Favor to the Old Testament Church

Thanksgiving 4.14 | KJV

For the many glorious instances of God’s favour to the Old Testament church.

I adore that wisdom, peace, and goodness with which thou broughtest the vine out of Egypt, didst cast out the heathen and plant it; thou preparedst room before it and didst cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land. Psalm 80:8-9(KJV)

And they got not the land in possession by their own sword, neither did their own arm save them: but thy right hand and thine arm and the light of thy countenance, because thou hadst a favour to them. Psalm 44:3(KJV)

I bless thee that to the Jews were committed the oracles of God; Romans 3:2(KJV) that they had the adoption and the glory and the covenant, the giving of the law and the service of God and the promises: Romans 9:4(KJV) And that there did not fail one word of all thy good promise, which thou promisedst by the hand of Moses thy servant. 1 Kings 8:56(KJV)

I bless thee for all that which thou didst, at sundry times and in divers manners, speak in times past unto the fathers by the prophets, Hebrews 1:1(KJV) those holy men of God who spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, 2 Peter 1:21(KJV) and prophesied of the grace that should come unto the people of God, testifying beforehand the suffering of Christ and the glory that should follow; and that, not to themselves only, but to all believers, they ministered those great things, things which the angels themselves desire to look into. 1 Peter 1:10-12(KJV)

And especially, I bless thee that thou hast provided some better things for believers alive today, that they without us should not be made perfect. Hebrews 11:40(KJV)
