VESPERS AT THE END OF THE SABBATH: Why Does Jesus Christ Love Me So!?!

I Think I'm Going To Cry!

Why!?!
What's The Matter!?!
What's Wrong!?!

Oh, Nothing Is Wrong!
Everything Is Just Right!
Everything Is Just Perfect!

Titi, You Completely Lost Me!
What Are You Talking About!?!

Jesus!

Okay!
Nothing New In That
So Why Would That Make You Want To Cry Today!?!

Jesus Died For Us!

What's The Matter With You, Titi!?!
You Already Know And Accept That Truth!

I Know I Know That
But, Now
I Know That Jesus Loves Me!

You'd Better Explain Yourself
For You're Starting To Scare Me!
You Have Been Singing And Saying
"Jesus Loves Me!"
From A Small Child
So I Don't Understand Your Meaning Now!

Lillian, Please Come And Sit Here By Me!

Yes, Titi!

Lillian,
Jesus Saves ... Us, You And Me
Because 
We Believe Him At His Word
And
We Choose To Be Saved By Him!

Jesus Loves Us ... You, Me And Everybody Else
Whether Or Not We Choose To Accept His Love
His Grace
His Mercy
His Forgiveness
His Blessing
His Peace
His Rest
His Healing
His Leading
His Provision
His Promises For Today
His Promises For The Day To Come
His Gift Of The New Life
His Glory To Share!

Jesus Left For Us The Living Example!
He Gave Unto Us The Living Word!
He Gave Unto Us The Living Phone Line Of Prayer!
He Gave Unto Us His Holy Spirit
As Our Personal Comforter!
He Gave Unto Us Holy Angels 
As Personal Influencers For Good
And
As Personal 24/7 Body Guards
That Cannot Be Overcome!

He Promised ... By Virtue Of
His Spilled And Poured Out Innocent Blood
To Never Leave Us Nor Forsake Us
And
To Come Back For Us
To Take Us ... Of Enduring, Working
Waiting, Watching Faith
Home ...To His Home
To His Father's House
Where He Is Loved
Worshipped
Adored
To Live In Places That He Is Preparing
For Us ...!

... Titi, Why Are You Crying!?!

Why Does He Love Us, So!?!

Why Did He Leave His Glory For Me!?!
Why Did He Stay On That Cruel Tree!?!
Why Did He Take On Humanity!?!
Why Don't I Love Him More!?!

Jesus Paid For All My Sin
Before You Were Born
Before I Was Born
Before My Mother And Father Were Born
Before My Great Grandparents Were Born
Before This Nation Began
Before Sin Entered In
Before The Foundation Of The Earth ...!

... I Never Considered That!

The Hymn-Writer Asked:

What Wondrous Love Is This, Oh, My Soul!?!

Divinity Clothed In Humanity!
Eternity Enshrouded In Time!
Love Despised By Malignity
Caused Jesus Christ To Give His Holy Life
To Rescue Me From This Carnal Body Of Sin
That Cannot To Holy Heaven Climb!

Why Would The Great Infinite 

Choose To Save The Lowly Mortal 

Who Caused His Shame
And
Inflicted ... !?!

... Inflicts ...!

... His Pain, Time And Again!?!

Why Does He Love Us So!?!

It Will Take Eternity To Find The Answer To That Question!

More Importantly
When Will We Acknowledge That He Does
And
With Him ... In Faith
To Old Calvary Go
To Slough Off The Sin Character
And
Acquire The Garment Of Praise
The Character Of Christ
And
Choose To Live For Him
To Tell The World Of His Love
His Undying Devotion ... To Us
- Daily Dying Sinful Man -
Who Cannot In Our Own Strength Stand!?!

He Personally Loves Me!
I Desire To Understand Why
And, That, Ms. Lilly
Is 

Why I Cry!

I Have To Get Home ... To Him!
I Must On His Once Broken Heart Cry!
I Must Feel The Nail Prints!
I Must Touch That Riven Side!
I Must Kiss His Scarred Forehead!
I Must Give Thanks And Shout Praise
I Must Sing
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
To My Lord
My God
My King
The Ancient Of Days!

I Have To Get Home!
Lord, Help Me!
I Must Get Home!

Titi, Why Am I Crying!?!

Lilly!?!
Is It Because You Desire To Go Home With Him, Too!?!

Yes, Titi! Yesss!!

"Oh, Love Of God

How Rich And Pure

How Measureless And Strong

It Shall Forevermore Endure

The Saints And Angels Song!"

Indeed, And AMEN!

Oh, Bless Me Now, My Savior
I Come To Thee ...!

... And One Day
- Faith To Face -
We Shall See Him Face To Face
No More Disgrace!

I Yield My Will To You, Lord!

Please, My Spirit Thrill!

Lift Me Up So That I May Lift You Up

Who For Me Was Slain On Calvary's Hill!

Applied Grace!

I Follow Christ for Love -  Not Fear!
I Follow Christ in Hope -  Not Because of a Dare!
I Follow Christ
Because His Love for Me IS On Perpetual Display
And Not Because
It's The Fashion
Worn By Friends and Family on Special Days!

My Love For Christ Is Real
And Right 
And Is Revealing
My Answer Back
To Him Who Loves Me First!

I Feed On Him
Who Daily Tends and Feeds Me
Who - By My Life -
Had Dearly Cost Him His
After He Had Left His Home
My Sin -  and All Man's -  to Atone
So That We In The Fullness of Time
Could Face The Father 
In The Eternal Home!

I Love The Lord Christ
Today,  Tomorrow,  Forever
For I Have Proven Him 
Able, Honest and True!

His Mercies To Me
Are Daily and
Always Ever New
AND
By Faith
With Hope
Applied Grace 
AND
Constant, Constant Mercy
I Shall One Day
Receive The Blessing of 
The Refreshing Dew!
