			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We sang this song this past Sunday at Grace:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Jesus Paid it All</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I hear the Savior say<br />
Thy strength indeed is small<br />
Child of weakness watch and pray<br />
Find in me thine all in all</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Jesus paid it all<br />
All to him I owe<br />
Sin had left a crimson stain<br />
He washed it white as snow</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Lord now indeed I find<br />
Thy power and thine alone<br />
Can change the lepers spots<br />
And melt the heart of stone</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The Gospel is offensive!  It says:</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>You</strong></em> are helpless (<strong> </strong><strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+10:12&amp;version=NIV">Psalm 10:12</a>, </strong><strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Daniel+10:8&amp;version=NIV">Daniel 10:8</a>, </strong><strong> </strong><strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+9:36&amp;version=NIV">Matthew 9:36</a></strong><strong>)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>You</strong></em> are hopeless (<strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+24:19-21&amp;version=NIV">Proverbs 24:19-21</a></strong>, <strong></strong><strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=ephesians%202.11-12&amp;version=NIV">Ephesians 2:11-12</a>)</strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+24:19-21&amp;version=NIV"></a></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>You</strong></em> are dead (<strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians+2:1&amp;version=NIV">Ephesians 2:1</a>, </strong><strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+5:12&amp;version=NIV">Romans 5:12</a></strong><strong>)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>You</strong></em> are needy (<strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+79:7-9&amp;version=NIV">Psalm 79:7-9</a></strong>)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>You</strong></em> are not perfect (<strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+3:8-10&amp;version=NIV">Romans 3:8-10</a></strong>)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>You</strong></em> are weak (<strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Romans+5:6&amp;version=NIV">Romans 5:6</a>)</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><em><strong>You</strong></em> are not God (<strong><a href="http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=job%2038:1-40:2&amp;version=NIV">Job 38-40:2</a></strong>)</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The Good News is that we have been redeemed by a Savior who is none of these things.</strong></span></p>
