OUR CAPTAIN

"Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ."

2 Timothy 2:3
King James Version

W. F. Fowler wrote the hymn "Sunday School Soldiers". I love the words in this hymn. "We are soldiers of the heav’nly King, Soon the vict’ry will be won, For our leader is a mighty One, Even God’s beloved Son. Let the war cry ring, as on we swing in the glorious battle line: Satan’s host shall fly, and ne’er defy The Redeemer of mankind."

We may have to endure many hardships and satan will attack us with lies trying his best to discourage us so much we stop serving Jesus but the war has already been won. Our precious Saviour has already defeated satan and won the war over evil when He died for your sins and for my sins on the cross.

I have said this countless times and I will keep saying it until God calls me home. Nobody loves you like Jesus and God love you and nobody ever will. Their love for us is an unconditional love and it is an unending love and one happy day for those of us who have invited Jesus into our heart to be our personal Saviour, we will have the privilege of seeing Him face to face.

Carrie E. Breck wrote the beautiful and heart touching hymn "Face to Face With Christ, My Savior". " Face to face—oh, blissful moment!Face to face—to see and know; Face to face with my Redeemer, Jesus Christ who loves me so." Are you shouting with happiness yet? Have you allowed it to go from head knowledge to heart knowledge that you are loved by the Saviour of the world? O how He loves you.
