KEEP WORKING FOR JESUS

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”

Galatians 6:9 KJV

There are times when we get weary and feel like giving up especially when satan attacks us with poisonous lies and discouragement.  We must stay on the battlefield and keep working for Jesus.  Our precious Saviour stayed on the battlefield for us and He didn’t give up.

Rev. Otis Leon McCoy wrote the beautiful hymn “Keep on the Firing Line”.  Yes, we must keep on the firing line when we are attacked by satan and by people.  Jesus was ridiculed, scorned, cursed, spat on and beaten beyond recognition for us when He was crucified on the cross.  O how He loves you and me.

Jesus didn’t have to stay on the cross.  All the nails in the world couldn’t have kept Him on the cross had He chosen to come down.  He stayed on the cross to fulfill the mission His Father had given Him and He stayed on the cross for you and for me.  What a precious and loving Saviour, this Jesus of Nazareth!

Heavenly Father, thank You for loving us so much You gave Your beloved Son to die for our sins on the cross.  Jesus, thank You for all the sacrifices You made for us and for dying on the cross for us and paying the penalty for our sins that we could never have paid.  We love You.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
