Jesus Christ, both anointed one and the suffering servant of the Lord, we thank you for your willingness to be raised onto the cross for our sake. Increase our faith that we might receive the undying life that you have made possible, through you who lives and reigns forever with the Father and Holy Spirit in glory. Amen.
‘And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life.’ – John 3:14-15
