May I never forget the day Jesus died for my sins, the day He suffered on the cross for my sake, when the wrath that is supposed to be poured on me was poured on Him instead. May I never forget the riches of His mercy, the depths of His love, His willingness and power to save. May I never forget what a wretched sinner I was, how I had nothing to boast about, how miserable I was even by the standards of this age. Jesus has set the captives free. His gospel is proclaimed to the nations, and one day the government will be on His government. And He will reign forever and ever, as the King of kings and Lord of lords. His days will know no end.
But even after a million years into eternity, when His saints will walk on streets of gold in a city adorned with pearly gates, when there will be singing and rejoicing, when the sorrows of this day will be no more, may I never forget that Jesus loved me and shed His blood for my sins, and not just for my sins, but also for the sins of the whole world.
