Bishop James A. Johnson - The Major Mission of Jesus

The Major Mission of Jesus (Part 1):


In the late 1990s I met Bishop James A. Johnson, and that time was for me a decidedly important moment in my life. I could write about the sermons he preached in my home church back then, but I just wanted to recognize this great man of God who has gone on to meet his eternal reward. Godspeed, Bishop Johnson.

I chose to post this sermon because it is Bishop Johnson at his best, which was talking about the Lord Jesus Christ.

The Major Mission of Jesus (Part 2):

 
 
"It isn't the worst thing in the world to be poor. The worst thing in the world is to be a sinner dying and going to Hell -- that's the worst thing." -Bishop James A. Johnson

Down from His Glory - William E. Booth-Clibborn

William Booth-Clibborn wrote these powerful lyrics in 1921 and set the tune to O Sole Mio (written by Edwardo Di Capua). 

This is one of my favorite songs with regard to the incarnation of the Lord Jesus Christ:


William E. Booth-Clibborn (1893-1969)

[E major]

Verse 1:

Down from His glory, Ever living story, My God and Savior came,  And Jesus was His name.

Born in a manger, To His own a stranger, A Man of sorrows, tears and agony.

 

Chorus:

O how I love Him! How I adore Him! My breath, my sunshine, my all in all!

The great Creator became my Savior, And all God’s fulness dwelleth in Him.

 

Verse 2:

What condescension, Bringing us redemption; That in the dead of night, Not one faint hope in sight,

God, gracious, tender, Laid aside His splendor, Stooping to woo, to win, to save my soul.

 

Verse 3:

Without reluctance, Flesh and blood His substance He took the form of man, Revealed the hidden plan.

O glorious myst’ry, Sacrifice of Calv’ry, And now I know Thou art the great “I AM.”

J T Pugh - Justified By Faith


This journey we're on is a faith walk, not a works walk. I know that our faith will produce obedience to God's  Word, but to say that my salvation will be the result of my own goodness is a lie, or that my guilt can assuaged by good deeds. No, It is only by the redemption of Jesus Christ (He paid the price for my sin, my guilt, my salvation) and my faith in Him that I can live free from the pangs of guilt. 

Hear J T Pugh as he talks about the subject of being Justified By Faith

In 2015, stop living below your position in Jesus Christ.
