Preaching the Good News of Christ Crucified!

Once when I was traveling in southern England, I went to what was supposed to be a gospel church in order to and in hopes of hearing the glorious gospel of God’s grace in Christ. As the service began, hymns were sung that were very scriptural and everything conducted in a respectable manner. My heart could not wait to hear of Christ and His glory. When the preacher began to preach, his message centered on how bad he was, the evil of his own heart, the wretchedness of sinners. All of this may have been true but there never was any “Good News.” No gospel “glad tidings” of mercy and salvation in Christ. As a matter of face, very little of Christ and His work at all! This is often the case with writers and preachers but it is just not scriptural. They glorify unbelief! They write or preach as if it is a good thing to live in darkness, doubt and despair.

Mercy Speaks by JESUS' Blood!

Mercy speaks by Jesus' blood; Hear and sing, ye sons of God; [Justice satisfied indeed; Christ has full redemption made.] Jesus' blood speaks loud and sweet; Here all Deity does meet, [and, without a jarring voice, welcome Zion to rejoice. ] Should the law against her roar, Jesus' blood still speaks with power, [All her debts were cast on Thee, and she must and shall go free.] Peace of conscience, peace with God, we obtain through Jesus' blood; [Jesus' blood speaks solid rest; We believe, and we are blest.] Tune: 'For the Beauty of the Earth'

Blessed be the name of the LORD Jesus Christ for ever
