In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Amen

All have sinned and face judgment.

I know what the record will show. I know what you will find.

You have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

Go ahead, look me up, but you will not find me.

For I am reborn, a new creation hidden in Christ.

The records will show a life without sin.

A perfect life of love and sacrifice, for you and me.

But He was pierced through for our transgressions,

He was crushed for our iniquities;

The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,

And by His scourging we are healed.

And the sentence has already been carried out.

After this, Jesus, knowing that all things had already been accomplished,

to fulfill the Scripture, said, "I am thirsty."

A jar full of sour wine was standing there;

so they put a sponge full of the sour wine upon a branch of hyssop

 and brought it up to His mouth.

Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine,

 He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.

Judgment rendered - penalties paid - grace granted.

That is why I am not afraid.
