Opening Song: Jesus Paid It All (https://open.spotify.com/track/0X6zo3gCOaS6ccC7IT9Emf?si=d91148db874043c3) by Kings (MHM) Lyrics: And I hear the Savior say Thy strength indeed is small Child of weakness watch and pray Find in Me thine all in all 'Cause Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow Lord now indeed I find Thy pow'r and Thine alone Can change the leper's spots And melt the heart of stone And when before the throne I stand in Him complete Jesus died my soul to save My lips shall still repeat Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow He washed it white as snow He washed it white as snow Oh praise the One Who paid my debt And raised this life up from the dead Passage: 24 For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25 Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26 for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27 And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28 so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him. (Hebrews 9:24–28 ESV) Musical Reflection: It Is Well With My Soul (VILLE DU HAVRE) by Philip Bliss Reflection Notes: A hymn born in tragedy, “It is Well” was penned by Horatio Spaffor after hearing that his daughters had all perished in a shipwreck. Through this devastation, Spafford and his wife clung to the promise of God’s goodness. Spafford’s immortal words were set to music by his good friend and hymn writer, Philip Bliss; Bliss titled the tune “Ville du Havre” after the ship on which Spafford’s children had died. Prayer: O God, whose blessed Son came into the world that he might destroy the works of the devil and make us children of God and heirs of eternal life: Grant that, having this hope, we may purify ourselves as he is pure; that, when he comes again with power and great glory, we may be made like him in his eternal and glorious kingdom; where he lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
