 THE GREATEST AND HAPPIEST DAY

"And I said unto him, Sir, thou knowes"t. And he said to me, These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

Revelation 7:14
King James Version

Fanny Crosby wrote a beautiful hymn "THE BLOOD-WASHED THRONG".

"There is a blood-washed multitude, a mighty army strong; The Lord of hosts their righteousness, redeeming love their song.
They follow Christ whose name they bear, to yonder portals bright, Where He has said His faithful ones shall walk with Him in white.

That precious name their guiding star, its beams will o’er them cast, And through its power their trusting souls shall overcome at last. The glory cloud will bring them safe to yonder palace bright, Where they shall see Him eye to eye and walk with Him in white.

March on! O blood-washed multitude, for lo! the hour draws nigh, When we shall hail the King of kings triumphant in the sky. When songs of praise to Him we love, shall fill the courts of light, And they that overcome the world, shall walk with Him in white."

The only thing I can say after this is what we sing in this beautiful heart touching and inspiring hymn "Oh What A Savior".

"Once I was straying, in sin's dark valley, No hope within could I see. They searched through Heaven and found a Savior, To save a poor, lost soul like me.

Oh, what a Savior, oh hallelujah! His heart was broken on Calvary His hands were nail scarred, His side was riven, He gave His life's blood for even me.

Death's chilling' water I'll soon be crossing, But His hand will lead me safe oe'r. Then I'll join the chorus, in that bright city, And I'll sing up there forevermore!

Oh, what a Savior, oh hallelujah! His heart was broken on Calvary His hands were nail scarred, His side was riven, He gave His life's blood for even me."

Jesus died on the cross for us and shed His precious blood for us. What are we doing for Him? I love You so much, dear Jesus.  Thank You for everything.
