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

Thanksgiving 4.18 | NASB

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

I bless You that Jesus Christ did not come to call the righteous, but sinners (such as myself) to repentance, Matthew 9:13(NASB) and had authority on earth to forgive sins; Matthew 9:6(NASB) that He came to save His people from their sins, Matthew 1:21(NASB) and is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world; John 1:29(NASB) and that He is (to His honor, not to His reproach) a friend to tax collectors and sinners. Matthew 11:19(NASB)

I thank You for the gracious invitation He gave to those who are weary and heavy-laden to come to Him for rest: Matthew 11:28(NASB) And for the assurance He has given, that whoever comes to Him, He will certainly not cast out. John 6:37(NASB)

That He made a gracious offer, that if anyone is thirsty they might come to Him and drink. John 7:37(NASB)

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

Thanksgiving 4.17 | NASB

For His holy life, His excellent doctrine, and the glorious miracles He wrought to confirm His doctrine.

I bless You for the assurance I have that Jesus has come from God as a teacher, since no one could do those signs which he did unless God was with him. John 3:2(NASB)

That You have in these last days spoken in Your Son, Hebrews 1:2(NASB) whose teaching was not His, but His who sent Him; John 7:16(NASB) and He spoke as one having authority; Matthew 7:29(NASB) and that I am encouraged to come and learn from Him, because He is gentle and humble in heart, and in learning of Him I will find rest for my soul. Matthew 11:29(NASB)

I bless You that He has left me an example for me to follow in His steps, in that He committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth; and while being reviled, He did not revile in return; 1 Peter 2:21-23(NASB) and His food and drink was to do the will of His Father, John 4:34(NASB) in that He was holy, innocent, undefiled, separated from sinners. Hebrews 7:26(NASB) O that I may be armed with the same purpose, 1 Peter 4:1(NASB) and that as He was, so also may I be in this world; 1 John 4:17(NASB) and that I may walk in the same manner as He walked. 1 John 2:6(NASB)

I bless You that the works which He did testify about Him, that the Father has sent Him; John 5:36(NASB) 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(NASB) and even the winds and the sea obeyed Him, Matthew 8:27(NASB) for which I glorify the God of Israel. Matthew 15:31(NASB) Truly this was the Son of God! Matthew 27:54(NASB)

Thank God for His Gracious Owning of Christ in His Undertaking

Thanksgiving 4.16 | NASB

For God’s gracious owning of Him in His undertaking, and in the carrying of it out.

I bless You that You were in Christ reconciling the world to Yourself, not counting their trespasses against them, and that You have committed to Your people the word of reconciliation. 2 Corinthians 5:19(NASB)

That You have Yourself made Him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples; Isaiah 55:4(NASB) that He was sanctified and sealed, John 6:27(NASB) and sent into the world; John 10:36(NASB) and that the Father who sent Him did not leave him alone, for He always did the things that are pleasing to Him. John 8:29(NASB)

Glory be to God in the highest, for in and through Jesus Christ there is on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased. Luke 2:14(NASB)

By this the love of God was manifested, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that all who are His might live through Him. 1 John 4:9(NASB)

I thank You that you have given Him authority over all flesh, that to all whom You have given Him, He may give eternal life. John 17:2(NASB)
