EVERYTHING

“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

Isaiah 1:18 KJV

Elvina Mable Hall wrote one of my favorite hymns that brings tears of gratitude to my eyes for what Jesus did for me.   “Jesus Paid It All.”  I’m so glad these words are true.  “Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.”  What a precious loving Saviour we have.

There is nothing we could ever do to be clean enough or good enough to go to Heaven.  We can’t work for it.  We can’t buy our way into Heaven.  It is only through the redeeming cleansing blood of Jesus that we can be saved and spend eternity in Heaven with Jesus.

Do you understand yet how much Jesus loves you?  He allowed them to beat Him beyond recognition, spit on Him, curse Him, mock Him and nail Him to the old rugged cross.  He could have come down from the cross.  All the nails in the world couldn’t have kept Him on the cross but He stayed on the cross for us.

Rev. Ray Overholt wrote a heart touching hymn about our precious Saviour “Ten Thousand Angels”.  “He could have called ten thousand angels To destroy the world and set Him free. He could have called ten thousand angels, But He died alone for you and me.”  Thank God for the love of our Saviour.

Yes, everything we have belongs to Jesus.  He should have first priority in our heart, in our life, in our time and in everything we do.  If ever someone deserves to be honored, loved and praised, it is Jesus, the Saviour of the world.  All hail, King Jesus!
