Victory in Jesus

 

Today I am THANKFUL for the hymn, Victory in Jesus, and share the story behind the song for the writer and for me with a special THANKS to my mom. Check it out and leave a message about how that hymn has touched your life, too.

“Oh victory in Jesus, my Savior forever, He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood, He loved me…and all my love is due Him, He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.”- E.M. Bartlett- Mr. Bartlett suffered a paralyzing stroke that left him unable to walk or even speak and for the most part, he was bedridden. Many felt the stroke ended his teaching ministry, yet It was during these dark days that Eugene would write his best-known hymn, Victory In Jesus

Thank You Jesus for so loving me. I want to love You more and share Your love. I’m pretty sure I first heard this hymn at Allen Park Church of the Nazarene because my sweet Mom took us, my sister Tina and me, from my earliest memory. Thanks, mom,  I will always remember and be thankful that I first heard about Jesus because of you. This also became a favorite hymn of my Pop who found victory in Jesus at the age of 52.

Peace through the Cross

Each Friday between now and Easter I will remember the cross and Jesus' sacrifice. . . . Jesus, today I remember and give thanks that I have peace with the Father through the blood of Your Cross.-Colossians 1:20

Precious Blood

 Scripture I John 1:7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.

I John 1:9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Observation/Application  Confession brings cleansing and forgiveness of sin.

Prayer Thank You, Jesus, for shedding Your precious blood that my sins may be forgiven.

Jesus Paid it All

 

Scripture -Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

Romans 3:22-26, Ephesians 1:7-In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

Observation-All throughout Leviticus there is the repeated shedding of blood for atonement for the soul. However, Jesus Christ came to bring redemption, forgiveness, through His blood once and for all, by His grace.

Application-Jesus paid it all, once and for all, once and for always.

Prayer-Thank You, Jesus, for being my Redeemer!

Forgiven, forgotten, all cleansed in the blood, my sins are remembered no more. They have all been atoned for by Calvary's flood, my sins are remebered no more!
