Then Sings My Soul Saturday

This week's song is Amy Grant's new release "Better Than A Hallelujah". It's one of those songs I heard on the radio and now I can't get it out of my head. I'm not crazy about this version of the video because you have to get through the advertisement at the beginning and I don't particularly think she did as good a job live on this show as the studio version, but I still love it.I hope you enjoy it too!
Blessings,Amy

HappySaturday Friends!

I am so excited because I was treated at the last minute to a ticket to the E Women Conference in Greenville, SC this weekend. Tonight we saw Chonda Pierce and Jeremy Camp. Tomorrow - Angela Thomas, Karen Kingsbury, Lysa Terkeurst, Matthew West and more! I know I posted this one a few weeks ago, but I love it so I'm posting it again. I hate that he didn't sing it tonight, but he was great!

Hope you have a blessed weekend!

Hi Friends,

Just got in from driving my kids to visit with my mom for spring break. We got stuck in traffic driving home so we just walked in and we are exhausted. Sorry I'm late posting.

Hope you enjoy this one by Britt Nicole.

Sweet Blessings,

When I am facing the battles of this world and everything seems to be falling apart - He holds me together.

Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. Psalm 24:8

Have a blessed weekend!

The Seven Statements of Christ - part 5, 6, 7

The fifth statement Christ made was one of  IDENTIFICATION.

Later, knowing that all was now completed, and so that the Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." John 19:28

Christ was thirsty because he was not only God but he was fully human. Because he was fully human, he can identify with us in every way - with every need we will ever have.

The sixth statement Christ made was one of INVITATION.

When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. John 19:30

The job he came to do was complete.

The seventh statement Christ made was one of INVINCIBILITY.

Jesus called out with a loud voice, "Father, into your hands I commit my spirit." When he had said this, he breathed his last. Luke 23:46

After Jesus paid the debt we owed, the Father embraced the Son and accepted Him for all eternity. 

Remember to celebrate the Risen Savior not just at Easter but everyday of the year.

Blessings,

Amy

The Seven Statements of Christ - part 4

The third statement Christ made was one of ISOLATION.

From the sixth hour until the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. About the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi,lama sabachthani?"—which means, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Matthew 27:45-46

At this point, if we consider the human side of Christ, it must have been almost unbearable to have been rejected and ridiculed in so many ways. The physical abuse aside, think about the emotional distress. Judas, one of his twelve has betrayed him, Peter has denied him not once, but three times, the disciples have abandoned him and scattered in fear - but at least He still has His Father. Then, when he has the sin of the world on his shoulders, His Father must temporarily look away too and Jesus asks "why have you forsaken me?" God could not look at the sin that was upon his son and Jesus feels completely forsaken.

Have you felt forsaken lately? Remember this, God has said, never will I leave you or forsake you. (Hebrews 13:5b) Your sin has already been covered by Christ, so Your Heavenly Father never has to look away.
