JESUS CHRIST >> LOVE OF CHRIST FOR US
SDAH 184
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Text
1
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Refrain
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
2
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.
3
Since nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.
4
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus’ feet.

Our lesson today reminds us that it is only through the sacrifice of Jesus that our relationship with God has been reconciled. (Lesson 5, 4th Quarter 2020 – Wednesday, The Master Teacher and Reconciliation, 10/28/2020)
Salvation is freely offered to us all that there is nothing we can do to earn it. The blood of Christ has power and is enough to redeem us and that we may be worthy to be called sons and daughters of God. (Lesson 11, 1st quarter 2021 -Sunday, Buy Something Free, 3/7/2021)
Someone has said: “When I look to myself, I see no reason why I can be saved. But, when I look to Jesus, I see no reason why I should be lost.” The sacrifice and death of Jesus on the cross is enough to pay for the penalty of all my sins and shortcomings. (Lesson 12, 2nd Quarter 2021 -Tuesday, The faith of Abraham: Part 1, 6/15/2021)
