LOVING EASTER GREETINGS TO YOU ALL!!

 

'There was no other good enough

to pay the price of sin;

He only could unlock the gates of heaven

and let us in

 

No one on Earth at any time could by any means

redeem his brother, nor give to God a Ranson for any!

It would be too much needed not merely to purchase a life,

but to also secure it's ongoing security for Eternity

Psalm 49v7-9

 

ONLY JESUS

CAN SAVE US AND GIVE US LIFE.

 

And HE entering into His Father's Love for us

offered Himself voluntarily

to come down to where we each one was

to pay the full price of our Redemption out of the hand of the Enemy

 

He did not purchase us with money

but with His Own Life - but with His Own BLOOD. 

 

Our Selfishness

cost GOD His Life

THAT

is how much He Loves us

 

Shall we then continue to live for ourselves and the pleasing of our flesh?

Shall we stir up His Indignation against us?

GOD FORBID that we should so continue in sin.

For should we do so there is no more Forgiveness

Hebrews 10v26-27

 

Let us AWAKE and put on CHRIST

Let us LIVE the Life He has Bought for us

REMEMBERING

that I am

NOT MY OWN

But saved by Jesus, Who redeemed me by His Blood;

Gladly I accept the message, I belong to Christ the lord.

NOT MY OWN

to Christ, my Saviour, I, believing, trust my soul;

Everything to Him committed, While eternal ages roll.

NOT MY OWN

My time, my talent,Freely all to Christ I bring:

To be used in joyful service, For the glory of the king.

LAST NIGHT, on Thursday, Esther and I brought our Houseparents all together with us for a time of Fellowship and Breaking of Bread.     The Spirit of God descended upon us and moved us mightily as we sensed the Presence of God amongst us.  We

are believing that this prelude to our Easter will herald His Greater Presence amongst all our children and other staff that make up the Testimony Faith Homes Family.

 

God be with you to Bless and awaken you all to His Love more than ever before, and thus encourage you all to rededicate and recommitt your life and service to HIM.

 

Your brother and sister in His Love and Mercy

 

John and Esther
