'CHRIST DIDN'T PLEASE HIMSELF. AS THE PSALMIST SAID, HE CAME FOR THE VERY PURPOSE OF SUFFERING UNDER THE INSULTS OF THOSE WHO WERE AGAINST THE LORD. THESE THINGS WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE SCRIPTURES SO LONG AGO ARE TO TEACH US PATIENCE, AND TO ENCOURAGE US SO THAT WE WILL LOOK FORWARD EXPECTANTLY TO THE TIME WHEN GOD WILL CONQUER SIN AND DEATH." Romans 15:3-4
Want to see a real hero? A real Man's Man? Well there He is. He knew full well what He was walking into when He came here. He knew what we would do with Him, but He came anyway for those of us who He knew would accept what He was about to do for us. He chose to come for us. He met Satan face to face and was tempted personally by him. But He never gave in. He is a real live hero. And I'm Proud To Know Him.
In His eyes was the wisdom of the ages,
In His hands there was kindness and love,
His manner was tender and quiet,
In His smile was a light from above.
He travelled the highways and byways,
Spoke to rich man and beggar alike,
He taught in the streets and the temples,
Brought comfort and healing and light.
He spoke of His reason for coming,
And a home for the faithful and true,
At first He was loved by many,
And then by only a few.
He was taken to court in the city,
And put through a mockery trial,
He was hung on the cross without pity,
And taunted and rudely reviled.
Why did they do this to Jesus,
A Man who would never abuse,
His countrymen laughed and they mocked Him,
He said He was King of the Jews.
