Jesus saves

sooo if you know me, you know that i am a music geek. lol
a lot of my posts will probably come from lines of songs
that just got me thinking about different things, so at least
now you know what to expect lol

anyways, so today's song...well, this weekend/beginning of the week
the song that has been on my mind a lot is "Jesus Saves"

it's probably my most recent favorite that we sing in church
and the reason i like it so much is for the third verse
it says:

"He will live our sorrow sharing
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
He will die our burden bearing
Jesus saves, Jesus saves
It is done, will shout the cross
Christ has paid redemption's cost
while the empty tomb declaring, Jesus saves!"

-God knows our sorrows.
He knows what it feels like to lose
someone you care so much about...

-Jesus died for OUR sins
he bore the cross so we wouldn't
have to suffer in hell for eternity
(this doesn't mean everyone goes to heaven.
some people choose to ignore God and His free gift)

-"It is finished" the suffering was over for Jesus
and the suffering will be over for us
when we enter God's kingdom someday

-Christ has paid the cost.
"the wages of sin is death"
so Christ died once to save us from
eternal death. dying forever...doesn't sound too great

-Jesus rose from the dead 3 days later
leaving the empty tomb as a sign
that death was not the end of it
we will be raised to life again with God in heaven

-"death has lost it's sting"
God has power over death

WOW

ok, i don't really know what else to say
i think God having power over death
is a pretty good way to end this post

if God has power over death and He is on our side
who or what can be against us...??
