We sang this song this past Sunday at Grace:
Jesus Paid it All
I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness watch and pray
Find in me thine all in all
Jesus paid it all
All to him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Lord now indeed I find
Thy power and thine alone
Can change the lepers spots
And melt the heart of stone
The Gospel is offensive! It says:
You are helpless ( Psalm 10:12, Daniel 10:8, Matthew 9:36)
You are hopeless (Proverbs 24:19-21, Ephesians 2:11-12)
You are dead (Ephesians 2:1, Romans 5:12)
You are needy (Psalm 79:7-9)
You are not perfect (Romans 3:8-10)
You are weak (Romans 5:6)
You are not God (Job 38-40:2)
The Good News is that we have been redeemed by a Savior who is none of these things.
