Friday – November 14, 2008
Greetings from the Church
office. It is Friday at about noon. The sun is shining and I am smiling. Milo and Dorothy are outside doing some weeding in along the
front of the church. I have finished my sermon
for Sunday. One of the things I need to
do this afternoon is go to St.Vincent Hospital to
visit Cozy She was to have brain
surgery yesterday. But just the day
before the surgery they discovered that she also had cancer in her lungs. They decided not to do the surgery. She will be returning home with the bleak
news that she has only a few months to live.
Be praying for her!
The sermon for Sunday is
talking about how God the Father has given Jesus all authority over everything
on earth and all authority over us humans.
The Scripture to read is Revelation 5.
Read the whole chapter. This is a
scene where Jesus steps forward and is given great honor and worship. He is worthy to open the seals that deal with
humans and earth. He has purchased our
salvation by his blood! It is a rousing
section of Scripture.
I came across a nice poem by
Fanny Crosby. It became a Hymn and the
name of the Hymn is “My Savior First Of All”.
“When
my life work is ended, and I cross the swelling tide,
When
the bright and glorious morning I shall see,
I
shall know my Redeemer when I reach the other side,
And
His smile will be the first to welcome me.
Thru
the gates of the city in a robe of spotless white,
He
will lead me where no tears will ever fall;
In
the glad song of ages I shall mingle with delight,
But
I long to meet my Savior first of all.”
Have a very good day.
