Faith is Not Believing that God can, It's Knowing that He Will

I Believe in Jesus Christ and Him Crusified

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
HE washed it white as snow.

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat.

I hear the Saviour say,
"Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in me thine all and all."

Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow.

"So when the devil throws your sins in your face and declares that you deserve death and hell, tell him this: "I admit that I deserve death and hell, what of it? For I know One who suffered and made satisfaction on my behalf. His name is Jesus Christ, Son of God, and where He is there I shall be also!" Martin Luther

"I have come to see clearly that life is more than self. It is more than doing what I want, striving for what will benefit me, dreaming of all I can be. Life is all about my relationship with God. There is no higher calling, no loftier dream, and no greater goal than to live, breathe, and be poured out for Jesus Christ."
--Jamie in Brother Andrew's "The Calling"


"I am a fool for Christ...whose fool are you?"
~Brother Andrew

"What happened at the cross was not primarily about nails being thrust into Jesus' hands and feet but about the wrath due your sin and my sin being thrust upon His soul. In that holy moment, all the righteous wrath and justice of God due us came rushing down like a torrent on Christ Himself. God turned away because He could not bear to see your sin and my sin on His Son."
~from "Radical" by David Platt

Great post! It thrills me to see young people so devoted to Jesus Christ.. Your right, dying wasn't the challenge for Jesus, it was taking on the sins of the past, future and present that was truly horrific!

Prayerfully,
