To God be the glory

About Thanks to Jesus

A simple place on the internet to lift up the name of Jesus and cultivate a grateful heart.

Our heart

This site exists for one reason: to give thanks to Jesus and to help others know him. In a noisy world, we wanted a quiet corner to remember what is true — that God is good, that Christ has come, and that gratitude changes everything.

And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Colossians 3:17 (RSV)

Our faith and perspective

Thanks to Jesus is an independent devotional project written from an Armenian Apostolic Christian perspective; it is not an official publication of the Armenian Church. With the ancient Church, we confess one God — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — and Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who became fully human for us, was crucified, rose from the dead, and will come again.

Salvation and new life are God's gift in Christ. We are called to receive that grace in living faith: through repentance, baptism, prayer, Holy Communion, mercy, and a life formed within the Church. We read Scripture as the word of God in the worshipping life of the Church, together with the apostolic faith expressed in her creeds, councils, liturgy, teachers, and saints.

Editorial responsibility and method

Thanks to Jesus is the editorial name of this independent project. The site owner is responsible for its content and revisions; the project does not speak for the Armenian Apostolic Church, a diocese, parish, or clergy member.

The full Editorial Policy explains the site's boundaries and review standards. The Sources & Method page links the principal sources behind factual, theological, pastoral, and artwork notes.

  • Scripture quotations follow the Revised Standard Version policy explained on the Scripture sources page.
  • Historical claims are checked against identified reference sources, while devotional interpretation is presented as interpretation rather than as settled historical fact.
  • The original illustrations on this site — both the Armenian manuscript-tradition pieces and the symbolic scenes — were digitally generated using AI image tools, commissioned and directed by the publisher. They are devotional art, not claims about anyone's exact historical appearance. Historic artworks are identified and credited to their artists in their captions. A provenance record naming the tool, date, and commissioning brief is retained with the project for every image file.
  • Substantive corrections should be documented in the project's internal revision record rather than silently hidden.

Last substantive editorial review: September 1, 2026.

Contact and corrections

No message collection

This site does not currently have a contact form, monitored inbox, or prayer-request service. Nothing on this page collects a name, email address, testimony, correction, or message. If contact is enabled later, this page will identify who receives messages and how they are handled before any information is collected.

Until then, please do not rely on this site for a response, pastoral care, safeguarding reports, or urgent help.

Privacy on this site

This site does not contain analytics, advertising trackers, accounts, first-party cookies, or form-submission code. Here is the complete picture of its network behavior:

  • Typeface files are bundled with the site, so displaying its fonts does not require a request to Google Fonts or any other outside service.
  • Our hosting provider (currently Hostinger) keeps ordinary server logs when a page or image is requested.
  • Error pages (such as “page not found”) are served by this site itself and contain no third-party resources.
  • External source and support links lead to other websites with their own privacy practices.

The private writing box on the Prayer page has no submission connection. Its more detailed device-privacy notice appears beside the box.

Pastoral and safety limits

This site offers general devotional and educational material, not individualized medical, mental-health, legal, safeguarding, or emergency advice. Prayer and professional care can belong together. If someone may be in immediate danger, contact local emergency services rather than waiting for help from this site.
