Answer:
Jesus gave up his heavenly kingdom and all of his glory to take on human flesh. He lived a sinless life on our behalf, and then he suffered the agonizing death that our sins deserve. As a result, he became the ultimate sacrifice, satisfying the demands of God's justice once and for all. That is why Jesus is referred to as the "Lamb of God".
Dearly beloved Lord, we are grateful for your love and mercy. Lord. May the sound of my prayer of thanksgiving to you be pleasing and joyful to you. Thank you, God, for allowing us to see your splendor in the natural world, which is a source of joy and delight for me.
