HE IS WORTHY

"The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created."

Revelation 4:10,11
King James Version

Beatrice Bush Bixler wrote a heart touching hymn about our precious Saviour "I Am Not Worthy". Thank God that Jesus loves us so much He died for us. "I am not worthy the least of His favor, But He is preparing a place Where I shall dwell with my glorified Savior, Forever to look on His face. I am not worthy this dull tongue repeats it! I am not worthy this heart gladly beats it. Jesus left heaven to die in my place What mercy, what love and what grace!"  

Norman J. Clayton wrote one of my favorite hymns "It Was His Love For Me". I'm so glad the words in this hymn are true. "It was his love for me That nailed him to the tree To die in agony for all my sin. For my own guilt and blame The great Redeemer came, Willing to bear the shame Of all my sin." Jesus had never sinned, had never done anything wrong yet He allowed them to crucify Him for your sins and my sins.

No, we are not worthy of the compassionate tender loving unconditional love that Jesus gives us but He loves us so much that He allowed them to crucify Him on a cross of horror and shame and He had pain that nobody has ever known or ever will know. What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth! Please join me in praising the One Who loves you so much He died for you.
