1 Chronicles 19:1-19; Ezekiel 18:1-19:14; John 6:41-7:11
When we were still without strength… Romans 5:6 NKJV
[When] we were still sinners… Romans 5:8 NKJV
When we were enemies… Romans 5:10 NKJV
These three statements remind us of our lost estate when our Saviour laid down His life for us. We were without strength, helpless in and of ourselves and He became our Helper. We were still sinners, with sin-sick souls and He became our Healer to make us whole. We were enemies, and He became our Friend to reconcile us through His death on the cross. Yes, we remember our shame and guilt. Better yet, we remember our Saviour who gave Himself
for us. —Rex Trogdon
Guilty, vile and helpless we; spotless Lamb of God was He;
Full atonement! Can it be? Hallelujah! What a Saviour! —Philip P. Bliss
