SAVED BY THE BLOOD

"For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.".

Matthew 18:11
King James Version

Every time I read this verse, I am reminded of how much Jesus loves me and how much He has done for me.

S. J. Henderson wrote a beautiful hymn that always brings tears to my eyes to realize what a precious Saviour we have. The name of this inspiring hymn is "SAVED BY THE BLOOD".

"Saved by the blood of the Crucified One! Now ransomed from sin and a new work begun, Sing praise to the Father and praise to the Son, Saved by the blood of the Crucified One!

Glory, I’m saved! Glory, I’m saved! My sins are all pardoned, my guilt is all gone! Glory, I’m saved! Glory, I’m saved! I am saved by the blood of the Crucified One!"

Another hymn that fills my heart with praise and gratitude to Jesus is the beautiful inspiring hymn "He Came to Me" by Squire Parsons.

"The gulf that separated me from Christ, my Lord, It was so vast the crossing I could never ford; From where I was to His domain, it seemed so far, I cried, "Dear Lord, I cannot come to where you are."

He came to me, O, He came to me. When I could not come to where He was, He came to me. That's why He died on Calvary, When I could not come to where He was, He came to me."

For those of you who have been on my mailing list for a long time, you know that Jesus came to me when I was lying under a bed in a mental hospital where I had crawled because I was afraid of everyone and everything.

Jesus put His loving arms of compassion around me and lifted me up from under that bed. He told me He loves me and that He will never leave me and He hasn't left me, not even for one minute.

If you don't know this precious Saviour, I urge you to give your heart and life to Him. You will have a peace and happiness you have never known. I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for loving me and for never leaving me.
