"My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense ??? Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world." --1 John 2:1-2. Rain on a new month!
