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)
