GIVE JESUS PRAISE

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.  Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever.  Amen.”

Revelation 1:5,6 KJV

We need to give Jesus praise.  He has done so much for us and continues to do so much for us every day.  If we are honest, I don’t think any of us would be willing to leave our home, if it is a home filled with love, and live with people we knew were going to abuse us and beat us.

Yet that is exactly what Jesus did for us.  He left His Father, His home and all that He had to come to earth to die on the cross for you and for me.  What kind of love is this?  This is a love that can only come for the heart of God and Jesus.  The love They have for us is an unconditional and an unending love.

Fanny Crosby wrote the beautiful hymn “PRAISE HIM, PRAISE HIM”.  Are we praising Him?  If so, do we just praise Him when everything is okay or do we also praise Him when we are going through dark valleys?  If ever someone deserves to be loved, praised and adored, it is Jesus, our precious Saviour.

Jesus has told us that He will never leave us nor forsake us and He is faithful to pick us up and carry us through the dark valleys.  Jesus loves you, pastors.  Jesus loves you, missionaries.  Jesus loves you, evangelists.  You are precious to Him and He appreciates your service to Him.  GIVE JESUS PRAISE!!!
