GOOD NEWS
Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (09-11APR21)
Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace -God's unmerited favor- from our sins and from Hell:
CHRIST JESUS OUR SUBSTITUTE!
"From whence this fear and unbelief?
Hath not the Father put to grief
His spotless Son for me?
And will the righteous Judge of men
Condemn me for that debt of sin
Which, Lord, was charged to Thee?
Complete atonement Thou hast made;
And to the utmost Thou hast paid
Whatever Thy people owed;
Nor can God's wrath take place
If sheltered in Thy righteousness,
And sprinkled with Thy blood.
If Thou hast my discharge procured,
And freely in my place endured
The whole of wrath divine,
Payment God cannot twice demand,
First at my bleeding Surety's hand,
And then again at mine!" *
-preacher Scott Richardson
- Poem written by Augustus Toplady (author of the hymn,"Rock of Ages" 1772 A.D.) on the subject of SUBSTITUTION, which exalts the effectual, particular redemption of our Lord in saving His people and gives Him all glory.
