Our salvation is fastened with God’s own hand , and with
Christ’s strength to the strong side of God’s unchangeable nature. Samuel Rutherford
Scripture
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten
Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life. For God sent not his Son into the
world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He
that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of
God. John 3:16-18 KJV

Three Wooden Crosses By Randy Travis
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EfdMU2TcxH8
A farmer and a teacher, a hooker and a preacher,
Ridin' on a midnight bus bound for Mexico.
One's headed for vacation, one for higher education,
An' two of them were searchin' for lost souls.
That driver never ever saw the stop sign.
An' eighteen wheelers can't stop on a dime.
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the
highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world
behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.
That farmer left a harvest, a home and eighty acres,
The faith an' love for growin' things in his young son's
heart.
An' that teacher left her wisdom in the minds of lots of
children:
Did her best to give 'em all a better start.
An' that preacher whispered: "Can't you see the
Promised Land?"
As he laid his blood-stained bible in that hooker's hand.
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the
highway,
Why there's not four of them, Heaven only knows.
I guess it's not what you take when you leave this world
behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.
That's the story that our preacher told last Sunday.
As he held that blood-stained
bible up,
For all of us to see.
He said: "Bless the farmer, and the teacher, an' the
preacher;
"Who gave this Bible to my mamma,
"Who read it to me."
There are three wooden crosses on the right side of the
highway,
Why there's not four of them, now I guess we know.
It's not what you take when you leave this world behind you,
It's what you leave behind you when you go.

We set out hearts on heaven,
Where Christ is at God’s right hand.
Christ is our life and when he appears.
We too will share his glory.
Christ lives in us.
Though our bodies will die.
Yet for us the Spirit is life;
The Spirit of God raised Jesus from death.
This is out secret.
Christ is in us;
We will share the glory of God. Amen!
(A New Zealand Prayer Book pg 105)
