Last night our small group had a special time to remember our Lord's death. We read scripture from Isaiah 53, Mark 14, and John 19. We sang songs that focused our attention on the cross. As believers, we live on this side of the resurrection, but it was good to sit in the darkness and ponder the gravity and magnitude of Jesus' sacrifice.
I'm thankful that "in my place condemned He stood." Only then can I say, "Hallelujah! What a Savior!"
Amen, Persis.
ReplyDeleteAmen, Persis!
ReplyDeleteGuilty, vile, and helpless we;
spotless Lamb of God was he;
full atonement can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Full atonement can it be? I tear up!!! Hallelujah! What a Savior! My husband and I have been singing this hymn almost nightly this week. What a gem!! Blessings to you, my friend!
Beautiful, Persis! I'm thankful, too, that you have the encouragement of a small group. Have a blessed Resurrection Day, my friend.
ReplyDeleteA good day to reflect upon His wonderful love for us, and His obedience to the Father.
