SO WE'D BE BLESSED
For me, for you, for us,
Heaven sings a joyful chorus:
One for All and All for One!
Jesus came to die for us,
To save us from eternal death.
The blood, the pain, the sorrow,
No day is promised a tomorrow;
Live today for tomorrow we die,
Jesus came that we might live,
To try each day to do our best.
The hope, the faith, the love,
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
All for One and One for All,
Jesus came that we might die,
To live again in peace and rest.
For me, for you, for us,
Angels sing this joyful chorus:
King of Kings and Lord of Lords!
Jesus came to go before us,
To lead the way so we'd be blessed.

My Utmost for His Highest 
 | Sunday, April 5, 2009 | His Agony And Our Fellowship |
"Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, tarry ye here, and watch with Me."
Matthew 26:36,38 |
We can never fathom the agony in Gethse-
mane, but at least we need not misunder-
stand it. It is the agony of God and Man in
one, face to face with sin. We know nothing
about Gethsemane in personal experience.
Gethsemane and Calvary stand for some-
thing unique; they are the gateway into
Life for us. It was not the death on the cross that
Jesus feared in Gethsemane; He stated
most emphatically that He came on
purpose to die. In Gethsemane He
feared lest He might not get through
as Son of Man. He would get through
as Son of God - Satan could not touch
Him there; but Satan's onslaught was
that He would get through as an
isolated Figure only; and that would
mean that He could be no Saviour.
Read the record of the agony in the
light of the temptation: "Then the
devil leaveth Him for a season." In
Gethsemane Satan came back and
was again overthrown. Satan's final
onslaught against our Lord as Son of
Man is in Gethsemane. The agony in Gethsemane is the agony
of the Son of God in fulfilling His destiny
as the Saviour of the world. The veil is
drawn aside to reveal all it cost Him to
make it possible for us to become sons
of God. His agony is the basis of the
simplicity of our salvation.
The Cross of Christ is a triumph for the
Son of Man. It was not only a sign that
Our Lord had triumphed, but that He
had triumphed to save the human race.
Every human being can get through into
the presence of God now because of
what the Son of Man went through.
