Do you?

I was just thinking of this song I wrote some years back. For some reason it came ringing in my head. Okay, sing with me,

Thank you Jesus for your blood at calvary,
Thank you God for your Son Jesus,
Thank you for everything You have done,
Were it not for your blood at calvary,
Surely hell would be mine,
But through your unfailing love you rescued me.

Oh I live my Jesus (Mmmh)
Oh I love my savior (Mmmh)

When I remember your ordeal with the Jews
When I remember the cross episode,
I will never turn back to sin,
Ive made my mind to follow Jesus,
Ive made my mind to persue righteousness
All the days of my life


As this words rung in my mind, I suddenly felt the depth of the words. I remember i wrote the song at around easter, with the crucifixion mood all over. Now at this point i ask myself, what exactly was the cross episode? Figure the six inch nail driving through the arms of the Great I am. Figure the pain on His face, hear Him telling God to lift the cup of Him if it was possible...Hear the cry ringing through the air.....My God why have you forsaken Me. It certainly was not a circus, no games were being played and certainly there was no jovial mood then.

And what was the ordeal with the Jews, Oh no..... I never looked forward to six of the best in my school days. I worked hard to remain a good boy, not to please my father but to make sure that the cane never left its storage corner. I can figure out the strokes of the whips my Savior had...if the passion of the Christ movie is anything to go by....Jesus I hope you still don't have the marks to date.


It is easy to write, blog, update on facebook or any other site and state how you love Jesus. But Pose for a moment and ask, do you really love Christ. remember the million dollar question to Peter, Three times this question was asked, Peter, do you love Me?

In public places do you love Jesus?
In the confines of your room, do you love Christ?
In your work place do you love Christ?
With your peers, do you love Christ?


I ASK, DO WE REALLY REALLY LOVE CHRIST? IF SO THEN LETS FEED THE LAMBS
