He is a patient God; and I am thankful. The Old Testament speaks of those that deserve judgement and we subsequently annihilated. Yet, we don't see that in the New Testament. Or do we? The most ugliest death, I think, occurred in the New Testament, of someone who was innocent. He walked the earth, free from sin. He was in the world, and not of it. Jesus Christ paid the price for my disobedience. A famous song that I hope is sung when you kids are older is Amazing Grace, Look at these lyrics:
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught...my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear...
the hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares...
we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far...
and Grace will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me...
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be...a
s long as life endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years...
bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise...
then when we've first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me....
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now, I see.
Was blind, but now I see! Walking around blind to the Glory of God is not a way to live, for it ends in death. One day you kids will have my Bible and my it my witness and my works serve as a testement of the work I did for him while on this earth. What would you do when someone dies for you? Everything he asks, that is what. I deserve death, but he has given me life; through his Son Jesus Christ. Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty!
