OUR LOVING SAVIOUR

"And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."

Luke 23:43
King James Version

Daniel W. Whittle wrote the hymn "THE BANNER OF THE CROSS" Jesus died for our sins on the cross so we can be saved.

"There’s a royal banner given for display To the soldiers of the King; As an ensign fair we lift it up today, While as ransomed ones we sing.

Over land and sea, wherever man may dwell, Make the glorious tidings known; Of the crimson banner now the story tell, While the Lord shall claim His own!

Marching on, marching on, For Christ count everything but loss! And to crown Him king, we’ll toil and sing, ’Neath the banner of the cross!"

Have you crowned Jesus the King of your life? If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart. He gave His life for us so we should be willing to give Him first place in our heart, in our life, in our time and in everything we do.

Jennie E. Hussey wrote the hymn "LEAD ME TO CALVARY" All of us should be singing this hymn and thanking Jesus for what He did for us on the cross.

"King of my life, I crown Thee now, Thine shall the glory be; Lest I forget Thy thorn crowned brow, Lead me to Calvary.

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid, Tenderly mourned and wept; Angels in robes of light arrayed Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

Lest I forget Gethsemane, Lest I forget Thine agony; Lest I forget Thy love for me, Lead me to Calvary."

One day we will stand before our Heavenly Father and give an account of how we treated His beloved Son. May God have mercy on us and forgive us if we aren't serving Jesus.

Our loving Saviour left His Father, His home amd and all He had to die on the cross for our sins. How can we do less than do and say the things that make Him happy?
