At times, it seems that there are so many difficulties in life that we cannot cope with them all. It is easy to let them obscure the blessings that we may be grateful for.
The greatest blessing that I have is that Jesus died in my place for my sins, and that he rose from the dead so that I also will rise at the appointed time. Please celebrate with me this most wonderful blessing of all. The old hymn (1895) , At Calvary, communicates the feeling well:
At Calvary
By William R.
Newell
Years I spent in vanity and
pride,
Caring not my Lord was crucified,
Knowing not it was for me He died
On Calvary.
Mercy there was great, and
grace was free;
Pardon there was multiplied to
me;
There my burdened soul found
liberty
At Calvary.
By God’s Word at last my sin I learned;
Then I trembled at the law I’d spurned,
Till my guilty soul imploring turned
To Calvary.
Now I’ve giv’n to Jesus everything,
Now I gladly own Him as my King,
Now my raptured soul can only sing
Of Calvary!
Oh, the love that drew salvation’s plan!
Oh, the grace that brought it down to man!
Oh, the mighty gulf that God did span
At Calvary!
