Hi my friends! When I was a child my favorite songs or hymns in Sunday school were, ” Away in a Manger, Jesus loves me and O how I Love Jesus.” Now I have so many favorites, but my Number one would be ” Amazing Grace”. Today the songs about the blood seem to be sung less and less and that is sad because there is power in the blood that is the only remission of our sin. So let us get the old hymn book out and sing ” There is Power in the Blood” and all those great hymns that tell us that Jesus loves you and me.

This is a poem written by a friend of mine, I hope it will be a blessing to you!
Sheltered.
Through the pines,
Where soft breezes blow,
Through the pines,
I see traces of snow,
Through the pines,
Where birds build their nests,
Through the pines,
A doe and her fawn take rest.
In His arms,
We can safely go,
In His arms ,
We find shelter,
From the wild winds that blow,
In His arms,
We find sweet rest,
Gather strength,
And are richly blessed.
Words From The Past
Words from the past, often I like looking back at the Daily Bread and read words from the past. This blog is taken from the August 31/2003.
Who is Jesus? Observing the ways He is portrayed these days, it’s almost impossible to recognize Him as the Jesus of the Bible. Some groups add to what the Bible says about Him, while others diminish Him to simple humanity, claiming that He was merely a wise teacher or a master moralist. Some would like to make Him disappear altogether.
But this is nothing new. It’s been happening for nearly 2,000 years. This reminds me of Thomas Jefferson, who wrote the US Declaration of Independence. He went through the New Testament Gospels with scissors and cut out all references to Jesus’ deity and the supernatural. This is known as The Jefferson Bible. Even recently, people have approached the Gospels in similar ways.
When Jesus asked His 12 disciples what people were saying about who He was, some answers were Elijah, Jeremiah, and John the Baptist, but these answers were all inadequate. Peter was correct when he said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God” (Matthew 16:16).
Don’t be deceived by fuzzy, watered down, or false descriptions of Jesus that you read, see, or hear about. Stick to the Bible. When people try to minimize His identity, tell them in no uncertain terms who the real Jesus is!
All glory to Jesus, begotten of God,
The great I AM is He;
Creator, sustainer—but wonder of all,
The Lamb of Calvary! —Peterson

To know Jesus is to know God.
I hope you enjoy these words from the past, and you be blessed my friends!
