Happy Happy Monday Morning!
S - My dear children I am writing this to you so that you will not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate who pleads our case before the Father. He is Jesus Christ the who is truly righteous. He himself is the sacrifice that atones for our sins and not only our sins but the sins of all the world.
O- ADVOCATE - somebody who supports or speaks in favor of something, someone who acts or intercedes on behalf of another. Atone - to make compensation for a sin or a mistake. These are both actions that Jesus was willing to do even though he knew every wrong we would all do and what it would cost him. HE would have to be "truly righteous" to complete this.
A - Because of what Christ sacrificed to advocate and atone for me I've got to take sin very serious. It's so disrespectful for me to sin and think oh I'll just confess this later. Christ died and left heaven because of that sin!
P - Jesus thank you for being so willing to be my advocate and sacrifice all you did to atone for me. Help me to be very conscious and aware of sin and not treat it flippantly because you handle me with so much care!
