STILL RECEIVING

"And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them."

Luke 15:2
King James Version

Rev. Erdmann Neumeister wrote an inspiring hymn "CHRIST RECEIVETH SINFUL MEN". I'm so glad Jesus loves us enough to forgive our sins and receive us.

"Sinners Jesus will receive; Sound this word of grace to all Who the heavenly pathway leave, All who linger, all who fall.

Sing it o’er and over again; Christ receiveth sinful men; Make the message clear and plain: Christ receiveth sinful men.

Come, and He will give you rest; Trust Him, for His Word is plain; He will take the sinfulest; Christ receiveth sinful men.

Now my heart condemns me not, Pure before the law I stand; He who cleansed me from all spot, Satisfied its last demand.

Christ receiveth sinful men, Even me with all my sin; Purged from every spot and stain, Heaven with Him I enter in."

Are you shouting with happiness and excitement? Knowing that Jesus loves us so much to receive us even when are so sinful should be enough to make all of us fall on our knees and thank and praise Him for His unconditional love.

What a Saviour! What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth! There is no one like our precious Saviour. No one else would have walked that long lonely road to Calvary and allowed them to pound nailis in their hands.

I love You, dear Jesus. Thank You for everything. I look forward with happiness and excitement to the day when I will have the privilege of seeing You face to face.
