“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.”

2 Corinthians 4:5

***||***

Our Savior All Divine

Author: Unknown Tune: Amazing Grace

1. Christ bears the name of all His saints,

Deep on His heart engraved;

Attentive to the state and needs

Of all whom He has saved.

2. In Christ our Righteousness complete,

God's glory forth doth shine;

Where mercy, truth, and justice meet

Our Savior all Divine.

3. When justice smote our Surety's head,

Then satisfaction made;

The blood which our High Priest has shed,

A perfect ransom paid.

The Only Perfect Work

If I build a house, I will afterwards find something defective, something that needs to be altered or changed. There is continually something that may be improved for the better. If I write a book, I find it imperfect. Some error of the printer, some defect in the language, something to add, something to take out. So it is with all human works and efforts. The work of Christ’s righteousness and redemption is the only finished, the only PERFECT WORK, that ever was wrought among men. --Henry Mahan

*****

The Joyful Sound

“Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of Thy countenance” (Psalm 89:15).

Why is the gospel news of salvation called the “the joyful sound?” Because it is the vehicle of making known to us that God is love, and that He has (in the blood and righteousness of Christ) opened a channel for His love to exert itself in the salvation of the unworthy. The lost are found; the blind see; the deaf hear; the lame walk; the leprous are cleansed; the dead are made alive; and all “without money and without price” (Isaiah 55:1). --Augustus Toplady

*****

Christ Valued Only By Sinners

Christ is not valued nor His grace appreciated until men have a genuine knowledge of their misery, helplessness, and lost condition because of sin. When sin is sin indeed, then grace is grace indeed, and Christ is Christ indeed. If men have a superficial sense of sin, they have a superficial faith in Christ. --Thomas Manton

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Even Then!

In the very beginning, when this great universe lay in the mind of God like unborn forests in the acorn-cup, long before the echoes walked the solitudes, before the mountains were brought forth, and long before the light flashed through the sky, God loved His chosen creatures!

Before there was creatureship--when the ether was not fanned by angel’s wing, when space itself had not an existence, when there was nothing except God alone--even then, in that loneliness of Deity and in that deep quiet and profundity, His love moved for His chosen people.

Even then their names were written on His heart, and they were dear to His soul. --C.H. Spurgeon
