Good Friday: "By his wounds you have been healed."

1 Peter 2:24 is a profound summary of the gospel.

Peter raised the strongest objections to the sufferings of Christ during his earthly ministry, yet he identifies himself as "a witness to the sufferings of Christ" in his first epistle.

"He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed."

This is our message from our Maundy Thursday service last night.

1 Peter 2:18-25 and Isaiah 53

Continental Reformed Churches make provision for special worship services on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.

Or, as they used to call it, "Old Year's Day."

We don't call a service at Christ Reformed Church, Washington DC because most of our congregation is traveling over the holiday.

But our book of Forms and Prayers includes a prayer for this day, and we commend it to you:

"New Year’s Eve / Old Year's Day

Almighty and most gracious God, as we close the year with this day, we thank You for all Your tender mercies bestowed upon us during the whole course of our lives, and especially during this past year. Accept our thanksgivings for all Your blessings; fill our hearts with humility and love, with gratitude and trust. [Specific thanksgiving may be offered.] For all these blessings we offer to You the sacrifice of our praises, and we acknowledge that through Your great goodness and help we are enabled to live our lives in peace, even though we have offended You in countless ways. O merciful God, pardon all who sincerely repent of their sins. Grant that, while our years are passing away, we may work out our salvation with fear and trembling in the time You give to us. Enable us to press onward, always towards the end of our heavenly calling, even that blessed eternity, which Jesus Christ, Your Son and our Lord, has prepared for us. Amen."

Prayers & MeditationsAa PrefaceThe churches of the Reformation have historically included forms of prayer alongside their songs and liturgies in their service books.
