REDEEMER

Snippet

“Jesus Christ lived in the midst of his enemies. At the end all his disciples deserted him. On the Cross he was utterly alone, surrounded by evildoers and mockers. For this cause he had come, to bring peace to the enemies of God. So the Christian, too, belongs not in the seclusion of a cloistered life but in the thick of foes. There is his commission, his work. 'The kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. ― Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together: The Classic Exploration of Faith in Community

Scripture

O that with an iron pen and with lead they were engraved on a rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that at the last he will stand upon the earth; and after my skin has been thus destroyed,then in my flesh I shall see God, Job 19:24-26

Song
I Will Sing of My Redeeder
By Selah & Barlow Girl

Will sing of my Redeemer
He who took the nails for me
I've been purchased, I've been pardoned
Bound to Him I'm truly free
I will sing of my Redeemer
How He sought me while a slave
Loosed me from the curse of sin and
From the power of the grave
[Chorus]
I will sing of my Redeemer
Lift my voice to praise my Lord
Ransomed by His blood and mercy
I am His forevermore
I will sing of my Redeemer
He who bore my cross, my curse
Came a servant, chose to suffer
Lifted up and cast from earth
I will sing of my Redeemer
Tell about the grace I've known
Here on earth with those forgiven
And one day around His throne
[Chorus]
Sentence Prayer

Father, we you for the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus.
We have no fear of death because of Jesus and His Resurrection.  We praise and thank You for thise assurance! Through Him, Amen.
