JESUS DIED FOR US

"Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;"

Colossians 2:14
King James Version

Avis M. Christiansen wrote a hymn that always brings tears to me to know Jesus loves us this much "BLESSÈD REDEEMER". I believe she wrote this hymn from her heart.

"Up Calvary’s mountain, one dreadful morn, Walked Christ my Savior, weary and worn; Facing for sinners death on the cross, That He might save them from endless loss.

Blessèd Redeemer! Precious Redeemer! Seems now I see Him on Calvary’s tree; Wounded and bleeding, for sinners pleading, Blind and unheeding—dying for me!

Father forgive them! thus did He pray, E’en while His lifeblood flowed fast away; Praying for sinners while in such woe No one but Jesus ever loved so.

O how I love Him, Savior and friend, How can my praises ever find end! Through years unnumbered on Heaven’s shore, My tongue shall praise Him forevermore."

One happy and joyous day I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face. I love You so much. Thank You for everything You have done for me, especially for never leaving me.  Jesus died for us.  What are we doing for Him?
