I OFTEN STOP AND THINK

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:19 “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.”

     “I often stop and think, just how it might be, if there had been no Saviour to rescue me.  When I was so hopelessly lost in sin.  No one to save me, or wash me within.  I often stop and think, what a difference it would make, if Jesus had not come, if my place He did not take.  Had He not shed His blood on the cross of Calvary.  What a sad, gloomy picture in my mind’s eye I see.”   
     Can you imagine what it would be like to live in a world without a Savior?  No place to worship and pray!  No preachers to show you the way!  No glad songs of redemption we would sing!  No longing for the day of our returning King!  No freedom from our sin!  No peace and joy within!  This old world would be an awful place.  There would be, my friend, no amazing grace!  No comfort at the graveside of a loved one who has died!  Nothing but sadness and sorrow inside!  No joy we would know as we travel this way.  Nothing but heartache and disappointments each day!
    But oh what a glad though to think that the Savior has come!  What a wonderful place now that He has come! What a change in the lives of people, because He has died and rose again!  There’s worship and praise to the One we love!  There are preachers who
preach and show us the way!  We have glad redemption songs to sing!  We long for the day of our coming King!  We have freedom from sin and peace and joy within.  The lift our voices and sing of His Amazing Grace!  There is comfort at the graveside of a loved one who has gone on!  We have the assurance that we’ll see them again! Joy fills our hearts as we travel this way!  Our heartaches are gone for He brought a better day!
