HERO

Snippet

The three years of Jesus’ public ministry have stimulated more comment and literature across nineteen centuries than any other comparable segment of human history.  Carl F.H. Henry  A Plea for Evangelical Demonstration, Baker, 1971, p. 55.

Scripture

Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.  John 21:25

Song
Hero By Abandon

He walked the dirty streets
Famous for nothing
He said, "Come follow me"
And they came
A face like all the rest
But something was different
The Son of God would lead the way
And soon they all would say
There He goes, a Hero, a Savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love He gave His life so we could be free
The Savior of the world
He spoke with clarity
Walked across the sea
A single word
Would calm the storm
His touch could heal the sick
But He was called a hypocrite
Laid behind the stone
His death was shortly mourned
He left the curtain torn
And there He goes, a Hero, a Savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love He gave His life so we could be free
The Savior of the world
He chose to take the cross
Shed tears for the lost
The broken and the needy
Forgiving those who were and will be
The angel made it clear
He told them have no fear
He's not here, He's not here
There He goes, a Hero, a Savior to the world
Here He stands with scars in His hands
With love He gave His life so we could be free
The Savior of the world, the Savior of the world
The Savior of the world

Sentence Prayer

Father
When we were still helpless,
Christ died for the wicked at the time God Chose.
One of us might dare to die for someone good.
But now we see God’s love;
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
God rescued us from the power of darkness
And brought us safe into the kingdom of his dear son.
By whom we are set free and our sins are forgiven.
So we rejoice in the hope we have of sharing in God’s glory.
By the Holy Spirit God has poured into our hearts the love of

Christ.  Amen. (New Zealand Prayer book pg 129)
