Christ
Risen indeed!
Transforming faith’s cornerstone
Grace breathes with purpose
Justification
Christ
Conquering death
Taking sin’s place
Calvary’s now empty tomb
Redemption
Christ
Faithful shepherd
Hearing Savior’s voice
Wayward sheep now found
Assurance

I shall never taste a deeper bliss, till I gaze on the glorified face of Jesus himself.
From Revelation 22:3-4: “Nothing accursed will be found there any more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His servants will worship Him; they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.”
John Gibson Paton (1824-1907) was a Scottish-born Christian missionary who lived and served the Lord in the South Pacific.

From Romans 3:21-22: “But now, apart from the law, the righteousness of God has been disclosed and is attested by the Law and the Prophets, the righteousness of God through the faith of Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction.”
Faith’s wayward journey
Bearing under sin
Without righteousness
Evil in sheepskin
Life’s unworthiness
Deceiving ourselves
Misery’s ruins
Man’s faith hides on shelves
Eternal darkness
Living without hope
God’s love sends Savior
He changes faith’s scope
Light born in stable
Proclaiming Good News
Father’s righteousness
Faith calls us to choose
Assurance in Christ
Believing in Him
Justified by faith
Salvation’s true hymn
From 1 John 5:13: “I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.”

When facing painful trials, we may be tempted to doubt God’s love for us. Remember that God orchestrated the greatest demonstration of love possible–His Son’s death on the cross.
From Romans 5:8-9: “But God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us. Much more surely, therefore, since we have now been justified by His blood, will we be saved through Him from the wrath of God.”

Immense weight of the world
Resting on our shoulders
Crying out to our Lord
Pebbles fall like boulders
Darkest thoughts undermine
Harshest mental torment
Hidden physical foes
Hopeless, stuck in cement
Our Lord hearing, He cares
Listening to whole hearts
Filling with confidence
Piercing conflict, like a dart
Forever with our Lord
His refuge, without fuss
His righteousness delivers
Strong fortress, saving us
Cities under fearful siege
Virus shadows each street
Lord, lead us and guide us
Your goodness won’t retreat
Our Father’s steadfast love
Covers our affliction
Blessed be our Lord God
Faith, hope . . . our conviction
Trusting in the Father
Facing vicious disease
Your face shines upon us
We pray upon our knees
