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.”
