EVERYTHING

"Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all."

Colossians 3:11
King James Version

Will L. Thompson wrote a beautiful hymn "JESUS IS ALL THE WORLD TO ME". The words in this heart touching and inspiring hymn are so true.

"Jesus is all the world to me, My life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, Without Him I would fall. When I am sad, to Him I go, No other one can cheer me so; When I am sad, He makes me glad, He’s my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, My friend in trials sore; I go to Him for blessings, and He gives them over and o’er. He sends the sunshine and the rain, He sends the harvest’s golden grain; Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, He’s my friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, And true to Him I’ll be; O how could I this friend deny, When He’s so true to me? Following Him I know I’m right, He watches o’er me day and night; Following Him by day and night, He’s my friend."

Yes, Jesus is our Friend. Are we His friend? Do we do things and say things that make Him happy? One day we will stand before God and give an account of the way we treated His beloved Son. May God have mercy on us if we hurt Jesus.
