THANK GOD FOR THE CROSS

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

John 3:16

King Jsmes Version

Isaac Watts wrote one of my favorite hymns "At the Cross". The words in this hymn tell us how much Jesus loves us and how He died on the cross for us.

"Alas! and did my Savior bleed And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head For such a worm as I?

At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!"

Jesus left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth and die on the cross for our sins so we can be saved and go to Heaven when we die.

Please don't let all the suffering that Jesus endured on the cross be in vain. Open the door of your heart and let Him come in before it is too late. Don't miss out on spending eternity with Jesus.

Ira F. Stanphill wrote the beautiful hymn "ROOM AT THE CROSS FOR YOU". I'm so glad there is still room for us. I love the words in this hymn.

"The cross upon which Jesus died, Is a shelter in which we can hide; And its grace so free is sufficient for me, And deep is its fountain as wide as the sea

There's room at the cross for you, There's room at the cross for you, Tho millions have come, There's still room for one Yes, there's room at the cross for you.

Tho millions have found Him a friend, And have turned from the sins they have sinned, The Savior still waits to open the gates And welcomes a sinner before it's too late."

Thank God for the unending, amazing unconditional love and forgiveness we have in Jesus. O how I love Jesus! He is the reason I'm living and the reason I get out of bed.
