The Reason

Question: Have you ever wondered why Jesus came to earth?
Answer: For us

Question: Do you wonder why Jesus died on the cross?
Answer: For love

Question: Who has given us the best reason to live?
Answer: Jesus Christ

Question: Have you found a reason to live?
If not, remind yourself today that Jesus gave His life just for you.

We Are the Reason He Suffered and Died!


We Are The Reason by Avalon
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
Of all the gifts and toys we knew we’d find
But we never realized a baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives

We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

As the years went by we learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves and what that means
On a dark and cloudy day a man hung crying in the rain
All because of love
All because of love

We were the reason that He gave His life
We were the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live

I finally found the reason for living
It’s in giving every part of my heart to Him (every part to Him)
And all that I do every word that I say (you know I’ll be saying)
I’ll be giving my all just for Him, for Him (every thing for Him)

We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason that He suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave all He could give (all that he could give all)
To show us the reason to live

He is the reason to live
(don’t you know do you know the reason
that he came, oh he came to save us
when he gave his life for us) he suffered and died
To a world that was lost He gave everything (everything that He had He gave)
To show us the reason to live

Found


My world was changed
When Your love You gave for me
Do you ever find yourself thinking about how different your life would be if God hadn't sent Jesus to earth to die a painful death on the cross, just so we could be forgiven?

I've found myself thinking about that quite a lot in the last while. If I'm honest I'm not sure my life would be recognisable if I had never known God. Why? Because so many of the experiences and situations I've found myself in have been because of my faith - I've attended the Salvation Army all my life and having been part of the junior choir and band and subsequently the senior choir and band, many of my "life" experiences have been as part of these.

All that said, God did send Jesus into our world, and he did die so our sins could be forgiven. Even so, God still requires us to accept Him into our lives...we must let Him find us.

Amazing love
Now what else shall I need
Your name brings life
It's more than the air I breathe


My world was changed
When Your love You gave for me
My purpose found
And all that You want for me


And I found myself in You
And I found myself in You


Amazing love
Now what else shall I need
Your name brings life
It's more than the air I breathe


Take me to a place
Where I can see You face to face
And all I want to do
All I want to do
Is worship You

Would You Take Jesus' Place?

Would you be prepared to take His place?

I cannot comprehend how it must have felt for God, to sacrifice is only son just so my sins could be forgiven. How must Jesus have felt to know his own father was willing to let Him die on a cross? It's impossible to understand just how they must have felt.

So how can we repay them for what they did for us? We can give our heart to God, and live our lives for Him, doing all He asks of us.

Give your heart to God today!
