We are the beneficiaries of a love letter:
It was written in blood on a wooden cross
erected in Judea 2000 years ago.
- He was crucified on a cross of wood
- Yet He made the hill on which it stood
- By Him all things were made that were made
- Without Him was not anything made that was made
- By Him all things hold together
- What held Him to that cross?
- It wasn't the nails!
- At any time He could have declared "I'm out of here"!
- It was His love for you and me.
- He was born of a woman so that we could be born of God
- He humbled Himself so that we could be lifted up
- He became a servant so that we could be made co-heirs
- He suffered rejection so that we could become his friends
- He denied Himself so that we could freely reoeive all things
- He gave Himself so that He could bless us in every way
- He is available to the tempted and the tried
- He blesses the young
- He cleanses the lepers
- He defends the feeble
- He delivers the captives
- He discharges the debtors
- He forgives the sinners
- He franchises the meek
- He guards the besieged
- He heals the sick
- He provides strength to the weak
- He regards the aged
- He rewards the diligent
- He serves the unfortunate
- He sympathizes and He saves!
- His Offices are manifold
- His Reign is righteous
- His Promises are sure
- His Goodness is limitless
- His Light is matchless
- His Grace is sufficient
- His Love never changes
- His Mercy is everlasting
- His Word is enough
- His Yoke is easy and His burden is light
- He's indescribable
- He's incomprehensible
- He's irresistible
- He's invincible!
- The Heaven of Heavens cannot contain Him
- Man cannot explain Him
- The Pharisees couldn't stand Him and learned that they couldn't stop Him
- Pilate couldn't find any fault with Him
- The witnesses couldn't agree against Him
- Herod couldn't kill Him
- Death couldn't handle Him
- The grave couldn't hold Him
- He has alwsys been and always will be
- He had no predecessor and will have no successor
- You can't impeach Him and He isn't going to resign
- His name is above every name
- That at the name of Yeshua
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue shall confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord
- He is the kingdom, the power and the glory
forever and ever
Amen!
