endured due to our own sinfulness, our Lord determined to become like us, to share our weakness, to partake of the very same things we do, in order that he might break death’s stranglehold on us, and liberate us for the Lord’s own purpose and our new destiny. Let no one think that their own struggle or pain is unique or is in some way so extreme or rare that not even the Lord fully comprehends their hurt. This text lays to rest all thoughts that we have regarding the uniqueness of our struggle. Jesus himself became just like us in order that he might deliver us who, our whole lives long, lay under the power of sin and its inevitable result, death. Praise to the One who was willing to share in our being in order to break our very own bondage. After reciting and/or singing the Nicene Creed (located in the Appendix), pray the following prayer: O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure, that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
