Minister's Message

             

WHEN MY LOVE TO CHRIST GROWS WEAK,

when for deeper faith I seek,

then in thought I go to thee,

Garden of Gethsemane!

There I walk amid the shades while the lingering twilight fades,

see that suffering friendless One weeping, praying, all alone.

When my love for man grows weak,

when for stronger faith I seek,

Hill of Calvary I go to thy scenes of fear and woe.

There behold His agony suffered on the bitter tree.

See His anguish, see His faith - love triumphant still in death.

Then to life I turn again, learning all the worth of pain.

Learning all the might that lies in a full self-sacrifice.

It is sad but true that our love for Christ can sometimes grow weak. We might take him for granted or even not appreciate Him as we ought. What can we do at moments like this? How can we stay focused on Him and so be motivated to live, love, serve and be faithful? We can return, in our minds, to the cross. Sing this song (#752 in our hymnal), see the scenes again of His suffering on our behalf, be drawn again toward His sacrificing love. The cross of Christ is powerful! Keep your eyes on Jesus
