Call To Worship
Join every tongue, to sing
The mercies of the Lord
The love of Christ our King
Let every heart record
He saved us from the wrath of God
And paid our ransom with His blood. (Repeat)

What wondrous grace was this!
We sinned, and Jesus died
He wrought the righteousness
And we were justified
We ran the score to lengths extreme
And all the debt was charged on Him. (Repeat)

A monument of grace
A sinner saved by blood
The streams of love I trace
Up to the fountain, God
And in His wondrous mercy see
Eternal thoughts of love to me. (Repeat)

(Tune: "Arise, My Soul, Arise")

When the Holy God and a ruined sinner meet on a blood-splattered platform, all is settled once and for all, settled in such a way as to perfectly honor and glorify God and eternally save the sinner. The only proper meeting place between God and man is the point where grace and righteousness meet and perfectly harmonize. Nothing but perfect righteousness could suit God, and nothing but perfect grace could suit the sinner. But where could that take place? Only in the cross. There it is that mercy and truth are met together, and there the believing sinner finds peace for the heart and conscience.
- Pastor Scott Richardson

It is very dangerous to quiet conscience with anything but the blood of Christ. It is fatal being at peace until Christ speaks peace. Nothing can truly pacify the conscience but that which pacifies God, and that is the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:14). - Pastor Henry Mahan

In the last few months of his life, John Newton, author of the famous old hymn, AMAZING GRACE, became so weak that he had to stop preaching, and eventually was confined to his bed. His friends said that he never feared age or death. To a close friend he wrote, "Through God's grace I am perfectly well, yet laboring under a growing disorder for which there is no cure....old age. But I am glad for this disease; for who would live always in such a world as this?"
One day, with a feeble smile, he told a friend, "I am like a person going on a journey on a stage coach, who expects its arrival every hour, and is frequently looking out the window for it." Later he said, "I am packed and sealed, and waiting for the post."
Shortly before he died he told visiting friends, "My memory is nearly gone; but I remember two things: that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Saviour."
John Newton died on a Monday evening, December 21st, 1807. He died at the age of eighty-two.

HE BLESSED HIM THERE
Genesis 32:29 "And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there."
In Jacobs's darkest hour the Lord blessed him there. I am sure that as time goes by, and we are able to reflect on our past trials we will say, "He blessed me there." Charles Spurgeon said, "If we could see the real value of our trials we would desire them instead of fear them."
Psalm 107:43 "Whoso is wise, and will observe these things, even they shall understand the lovingkindness of the LORD."

"For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of GOD in him."
