Our God Communes with Us
Minister: Christians, What do we confess?
People: We confess the mystery and wonder of God made flesh and rejoice in our great salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.
With the Father and the Holy Spirit,
The Son created all things,
Sustains all things,
And makes all things new.
Truly God,
He became truly man,
Two natures in one person.
He was born of the Virgin Mary
And lived among us.
Crucified, dead, and buried,
He rose on the third day,
Ascended to heaven,
And will come again
In glory and judgment.
For us,
He kept the Law,
Atoned for sin,
And satisfied God’s wrath.
He took our filthy rags
And gave us
His righteous robe.
He is our Prophet, Priest, and King,
Building His church,
Interceding for us,
And reigning over all things.
Jesus Christ is Lord;
We praise His holy Name forever.
Amen.
Minister: These are the gifts of God for the people of God!
People: Thanks be to the Lord!
