NOT WORTHY

"John answered them, saying, I baptize with water: but there standeth one among you, whom ye know not; He it is, who coming after me is preferred before me, whose shoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloose."

John 1:26,27
King James Version

Think about it. We are not worthy to unloose the shoe's latchet of our Saviour yet He willingly walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to crucify Him on the cross for something He had not done. One of my favorite hymns is "Unworthy".

"Unworthy am I of the grace that He gave, Unworthy to hold to His hand; Amazed that a King would reach down to a slave, This love I cannot understand.

Unworthy, unworthy, a beggar; In bondage and alone; But He made me worthy and now by His grace, His mercy has made me His own.

My sorrow and sickness laid stripes on His back, My sins caused the blood that was shed; My faults and my failures have woven a crown Of thorns, that He wore on His head.

Unworthy, unworthy, a beggar; In bondage and alone; But He made me worthy and now by His grace, His mercy has made me His own."

No, you and I are not worthy to be loved by our precious Saviour. Not only does Jesus give us love, He gives us unconditional love. We know He loves us because He has proved how much He loves us when He allowed them to crucify Him for something He had not done.

Please join me in praising our precious Saviour. He is the "KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS" and one happy day we will be with Him in Heaven for all eternity.

Jim Hill wrote a beautiful hymn about our precious Saviour. "What a Day That Will Be". I love the words in this inspiring and heart touching hymn.

"There is coming a day when no heartaches shall come, No more clouds in the sky, no more tears to dim the eye; All is peace forevermore on that happy golden shore, What a day, glorious day that will be.

What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see, And I look upon His face, The One who saved me by His grace; When He takes me by the hand, And leads me through the Promised Land, What a day, glorious day that will be!"

Thank You, Jesus, for loving me and for dying for my sins. I look forward with joyful anticipation when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.
