Sam,
Since thanksgiving is next week let me read you a little prayer based upon this idea of right. I heard it offered as a thanksgiving tribute. "Oh, God, we do thank thee that thou didst give thy only son to die for us! We thank thee that the innocent has suffered for the guilty, and that through the suffering and death of thy most holy son our sins are blotted out!" Monstrous! How would that work in a court of justice? What would you think of a person who coolly thanked a judge who had knowingly allowed the wrong man to be hung? What do you think of a code of morals that offers as one of its beautiful provisions the murder of the innocent instead of the punishment of the guilty?
SAM... SAM......EXACTLY......COULD NOT HAVE PUT IT BETTER MYSELF...... What indeed should a person give for that, Sam? What could they give? NOTHING!!!!!!! exactly why it is a gift!!!!!!!! but coolly? I hope I am never cool about the GIFT...............I will be ETERNALLY thankful and sing the praise of the One Who gave it!!!
~To God be the glory~~, Great things~ He hath done; ~So loved He ~the world That He ~gave us His Son,
~Who yeilded~ His life, An atonement for sin;~~ And opened the~ Lifegate that all may go in!~~
~~PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD~~ Let the earth hear His voice!~ ~~PRAISE THE LORD, PRAISE THE LORD!~~ Let the people rejoice.~
O come~ to the Father~ Thru Jesus~ the Son~~ And~ give~ Him~ the~ glory Great~ things He~~ hath done!!!!!!!!!!
THANKS SAM FOR REMINDING US!
