Devotion: Come, Lord Jesus
For this, the holiest of weeks in our Christian year, I share with you a simple, but powerful litany of prayer. I hope you can sit for a moment and breathe as you pray.
From Bethlehem to Nazareth,
from Jordan to Jericho,
from Bethany to Jerusalem,
from then to now.
Come, Lord Jesus.
To heal the sick,
to mend the broken-hearted,
to comfort the disturbed,
to disturb to comfortable,
to cleanse the temple,
to liberate faith from convention,
Come, Lord Jesus.
To carry the cross,
to lead the way,
to shoulder the sin of the world
and take it away,
Come, Lord Jesus.
Today,
to this place,
to us,
Come, Lord Jesus.
Amen
