OUR REDEEMER

“Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.”

Isaiah 49:7 KJV

Rev. Joseph Swain wrote a beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour “Redeemer of Israel”.  I love these words.  “Redeemer of Israel, our only Delight, On Whom for a blessing we call, Our Shadow by day, and our Pillar by night, Our King, our Deliverer, our All!”  What a precious loving Saviour we serve!

Yes, Jesus is our All.  Without Jesus, we can’t do anything.  We need Him every minute of the day and He has promised He will never leave us or forsake us.  Will Lamartine Thompson wrote another beautiful hymn about our Saviour “Jesus Is All The World To Me”.  It is one of my favorite hymns.

“Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, without Him I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go, no other one can cheer me so; When I am sad, He makes me glad, He’s my Friend.”  We are so blessed to be loved by Jesus.  Thank God for our Redeemer.
