HE DIED FOR US

"When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost."

John 19:30
King James Version

Alfred C. Jewitt wrote the hymn "PAST ARE THE CROSS, THE SCOURGE, THE THORN". I'm so glad Jesus does not have to die on the cross again.

"Past are the cross, the scourge, the thorn, The scoffing tongue, the jibe, the scorn, And brightly breaks the Easter morn. Alleluia.

Gone are the gloomy clouds of night; The shades of death are put to flight, And from the tomb beams heav’nly light.

And so in sorrow dark and drear, Though black the night, the morn is near; Soon shall the heav’nly day appear,

And when death’s darkness dims our eyes, From out the gloom our souls shall rise In deathless glory to the skies. Alleluia.

Then let us raise the glorious strain, Love’s triumph over sin and pain, Faith’s victory o’er terror’s reign. Alleluia.

Jesus died for us. What are we doing for Him? After all He has done for us, He deserves to have our heart, our time and everything we have. I love You so much, Jesus. Thank You for all You have done for me.
