HOLY WEEK DEVOTIONS: Monday, Jesus Messiah

CLICK HERE TO READ Luke 19:41–21:38

From Brother Mike: 

This artwork was inspired by the song, 'Jesus Messiah.' The words are the chorus from that song.

This piece was a gift from a young man in the church I served in Naples, Texas. His name is Sam and Sam was about five years old when I arrived in Naples. He had already lost his little brother to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) and had become a deep thinker and a thoughtful young man. He liked our family immediately because we had a son named Sam too. Our Sam was 13 and they were both quite gregarious. Sam gave us this artwork when we moved from Naples eight years later.

Our Scripture for today are some of Jesus’ teachings in the week he gave himself on the cross. Jesus showed in all that he did and in all that he said that he is the Messiah, the Chosen One of God.

Here are all the words of the song:
'He became sin, who knew no sin
That we might become His righteousness
He humbled himself and carried the cross
Love so amazing, love so amazing
Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
His body the bread, his blood the wine
Broken and poured out all for love
The whole earth trembled, and the veil was torn
Love so amazing, love so amazing, yeah
Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
All our hope is in You, all our hope is in You
All the glory to You, God, the light of the world
Jesus Messiah, name above all names
Blessed redeemer, Emmanuel
The rescue for sinners, the ransom from Heaven
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
Jesus Messiah, Lord of all
You're the Lord of all
The Lord of all'
