Let the Redeemed of
the Lord Say So — Page 6
And from the North? Who here has been so encumbered with guilt from sin which has held you captive? You thought you were irredeemable. Your sins were as scarlet and glowed like beat red. But by a miracle, you truly believed that “If you confess your sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive you your sins, and to cleanse you from all unrighteousness.” You heard those precious words of healing deep inside your heart: “I have made you white as snow in the blood of the lamb.” And “He was pierced through for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; The discipline that brought us peace wasupon Him, And by His scourging we are healed.” Who here has then been able to approach that table of grace in communion, the true sacrifice of thanksgiving, being at peace with God and with people? Who here can sing, “T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear, And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear the hour I first believed.”
LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO WHOM HE HAS REDEEMED FROM THE HAND OF THE ENEMY!
And from the Sea. “In this world, you will have trouble,” Jesus tells us—and don’t believe anyone who tells you otherwise! Some of these troubles do not go away in this lifetime. We have thorns in our flesh which teach us to rely on the grace of God. The waves of the troubles of the world will come over us, and for many of us they have engulfed us, making us lose our wits. But for how many of you has this promise of difficulty also come with the other promise that “He has overcome the world” and in Him we have perfect peace? We do not live in a world which is easy, but we get glimpses of the perfect world to come as we are gathered to Him. Who among you can sing:
“Through many dangers, toils and snares we have already come.
T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far,
and Grace will lead us home.”
