"Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone...” Jn 12:24
It is possible to be busy with a messiah that disappoints you and with a message that leaves you sad.
The true Messiah came to give you understanding- so that you may know Him who is true and that you may know that YOU are IN Him. 1JN 5:20 He was not just your substitute, but He fully represented you in His life , death and resurrection. You were in Him.
He bore the weight of our ignorance in violence and anger upon the cross, as He was wounded and bruised, and He responded with the forgiveness and healing we needed to be restored and made whole. What a Saviour!
lyrics
Walking down the road to Emmaus
As we talked we were sad
Speaking of the one who we thought would be our Saviour
Now He's gone – this is not how it should end
Then we met a man, not persuaded by our doubts and fears
Who showed us how this mystery in us would be revealed
Suddenly, the scales fell from our eyes
As He broke the bread we understood
The meaning of His life
Chorus:
He was wounded by our transgressions
He was bruised by our iniquities
In His death we have died
in his life we're made alive
It is in dying that the grain of wheat releases it's seed
Now we run down that same road
Our hearts are burning all the way
Speaking of the one we now know as our Saviour
For in us His life is revealed
And it's no longer I but Christ who lives in me
The life I now live is filled with urgency
To make all men see what God sees
That His death was not the end but the releasing of His seed
My soul dances with each song. I can’t even put words to how my mind processes this music. It’s amazing. I could listen to Josh’s music exclusively and not tire. shannonf2
What can be said? What do you say about music/musician with such a creative and talented desire to only worship deeply?
Thank you Father! Thank you Josh
