I was reminded of the old hymn this morning.
It’s so true ya know.
A wise woman shared it with me when I first got saved in my early 20s.
Perhaps you don’t know it? Here it is.
God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal and forgive
He lived and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove my savior lives
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy He gives
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain day, because He lives
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives
And then one day, I’ll cross the river
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
And then, as death gives way to victory
I’ll see the lights of glory and I’ll know He reigns
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living, just because He lives
No matter what’s coming, we can hold on to this truth-
Nothing surprises Jesus.
When we chose to follow Him and trust Him, we will be victorious.
“But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:57
Let’s encourage one another.
Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. 1 Thessalonians 5:11
In this strange chapter, let’s remind each other what matters.
For God so loved the world, that He gave His one and only Son, that whosoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Jesus Loves YOU!
