[Faith-talk] Good Night Message for Tuesday, March 5, 2013

[Paul]

Well folks, supposedly beginning about now we're in for a big snow here in the Baltimore-Washington DC metro areas, but we all know that the Lord can turn that big snow into nothing, if He so desires.  In the meantime I've been getting emails and phone calls about how to prepare for any eventuality.  Well, folks, I'd like to prepare for the ultimate eventuality, and that is the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, which will be one grand and glorious occasion, and I know that all of you agree with me on this one.  Anyway, wherever in this world you happen to live, I hope that your day is going well or went well.

Matthew Bridges is the author of today's poem entitled "Behold the Lamb of God!", rendered as follows:

Behold the Lamb of God!
O Thou for sinners slain,
Let it not be in vain
That Thou hast died.
Thee for my Savior let me take,
My only refuge let me make
Thy pierced side.

Behold the Lamb of God!
Into the sacred flood
Of Thy most precious blood
My soul I cast;
Wash me and make me clean within,
And keep me pure from every sin,
Till life be past.

Behold the Lamb of God!
All hail, incarnate Word!
Thou everlasting Lord, Savior most blest!
Fill us with love that never faints,
Grant us, with all Thy blessed saints, eternal rest.

Behold the Lamb of God!
Worthy is He alone
To sit upon the throne of God above.
One with the Ancient of all days,
One with the Comforter in praise,
All Light, all Love!

And there you have Matthew's contribution for today.  Hope you all received a blessing from it.

And now may the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob just keep us safe, individually and collectively, throughout this night or day and especially in these last days in which we live.  Your Christian friend and brother, Paul
