A Great Savior… A Great Friend

Written by FAVORED1 on March 20, 2008 – 6:35 am -

Good Morning Beloved,

I hope you have a really great day… really great.  I love music.  A good song will express in words and melody, what the heart can not articulate.

LIGHT OF THE WORLD YOU
STEPPED DOWN INTO DARKNESS
OPENED MY EYES LET ME SEE
BEAUTY THAT MADE THIS HEART ADORE YOUHOPE OF A LIFE SPENT WITH YOU
CHORUS:
HERE I AM TO WORSHIP
HERE I AM TO BOW DOWN
HERE I AM TO SAY
THAT YOU’RE MY GOD
YOU’RE ALTOGETHER LOVELY
ALTOGETHER WORTHY
ALTOGETHER WONDERFUL TO ME
LEAD: KING OF ALL DAYS OH SO HIGHLY EXALTED, GLORIOUS IN HEAVEN ABOVE, HUMBLY YOU CAME TO THE EARTH YOU CREATED, ALL FOR LOVE’S SAKE BECAME POOR
(CHORUS )
VAMP:
I’LL NEVER KNOW HOW MUCH IT COST
TO SEE MY SIN UPON THAT CROSS
NO GREATER LOVE THAN ONE THAT WOULD LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR A FRIEND
(CHORUS)
“Here I Am To Worship” Israel and New Breed (Live From Another Level)

…. No greater love than one that would lay down his life for a friend… What makes Jesus so amazing is that,


While we were yet in weakness [powerless to help ourselves], at the fitting time Christ died for (in behalf of) the ungodly. Now it is an extraordinary thing for one to give his life even for an upright man, though perhaps for a noble and lovable and generous benefactor someone might even dare to die. But God shows and clearly proves His [own] love for us by the fact that while we were still sinners, Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One) died for us. Therefore, since we are now justified (acquitted, made righteous, and brought into right relationship with God) by Christ’s Blood, how much more [certain is it that] we shall be saved by Him from the indignation and wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, it is much more [certain], now that we are reconciled, that we shall be saved (daily delivered from sin’s dominion) through His [resurrection] life.  (Romans 5:6-10)

Pardoned

Cartoonist’s Comment:

The Good News is that the pardon for your sins has already been given. But you need to accept it by faith.

Today I wanted to remember another great Christian Cartoonist .  Johnny Hart, B.C. Cartoonist, who went home to be with the Lord the day before Easter, 2007.  Johnny Hart’s widow has been quoted as saying, “he is in a better place.” But with a laugh, Bobby Hart she says she’s “mad at him,” because she “wanted to be there first.” She adds that they had hoped to go to heaven together in the Rapture.

The 76-year-old Hart often incorporated his Christian faith into his comic strip, including the one that appeared on Easter Sunday, the morning after his death.

Hart’s pastor says it’s appropriate that the Easter strip contained Jesus’ promise of resurrection and eternal life.

In March 1996, The Los Angeles Times refused to run his Palm Sunday strip, and a national uproar ensued, reaching even the Washington, D.C., talk show circuit. The strip had Wiley—a brooding, poet-wannabe in B.C.’s cast of characters—sitting against a tree, tablet in hand, writing a poem entitled “The Suffering Prince” —

Picture yourself tied to a tree,
condemned of the sins of eternity.
Then picture a spear,
parting the air,
seeking your heart to cut your despair.
Suddenly—a Knight, in Armor of White,
stands in the gap betwixt you and its flight,
And shedding His ‘Armor of God’ for you—
bears the lance that runs Him through.
His Heart has been pierced that yours may beat,
and the Blood of His Corpse washes your feet.
Picture yourself in raiment white,
cleansed by the blood of the lifeless knight.
Never to mourn, the Prince who was downed,
For He is not lost!
It is you who are found. 

U BLESSED,

Have A Wonderful Day

Regina
