HE Died, That We Might Have Eternal Life.

HE determined to go to Jerusalem!

(James Smith, "Food for the Soul" 1867)

"HE determined to go to Jerusalem!" 

Luke 9:53

And JESUS well knew the sufferings 

which would befall HIM there! 

But such was HIS zeal for GOD, 

and such HIS love to us--

that HE was willing to go anywhere, 

suffer anything, or do anything--

that would honor GOD or do us good.

HE went to Jerusalem--

that we might not go to Hell.

HE was condemned--

that we might be justified.

HE was punished--

that we might go free.

HE died--

that we might have eternal life.

Precious LORD JESUS, 

may I ever be willing . . .

  to go anywhere for YOU,

  to do anything for YOU, or

  to suffer anything in YOUR cause.
