Do you know Him?

The Man who chose the way of the Cross

His Father's will over His Own.

A willingness to pay the price for sin

Body bloodied and soul in anguish

I can't even pretend to imagine

Today I read from the gospel according to Matthew

the Crucifixion

The penalty of my sin paid in full

Being washed in the blood of the Lamb

Remember, that not only did Jesus die for our sins, but He lived like no other

Perfectly, He walked with the Father

Fully God and Fully Man he was completely Obedient

The LORD Jesus lived the life that no other man

has ever lived

and died a death that only he could endure

so that we might live

Thank you Jesus that by your mercy you poured out your blood for the forgiveness of sins

Post Resurrection

We live in the post Resurrection age

and we await the Return of our KING.

We pray, Come Lord Jesus Come.

We still contend with strife, wars, natural disasters, and all the other effects of the fall.

However, we wait with HOPE.

Knowing that You, LORD God are about Your business in our lives and You will make ALL things NEW.

Singing:

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus

He came to love, heal, and forgive.

He lived and died to buy my pardon,

An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.

Because He lives, All fear is gone.

Because I know He holds the future,

And life is worth the living just because He lives.

How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy he gives.
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days because He lives.


Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.


And then one day I'll cross the river,
I'll fight life's final war with pain.
And then as death gives way to victory,
I'll see the lights of glory and I'll know He lives.


Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone!
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living just because He lives!
