LOVE HAS COME by Mark Schultz
LYRICS
VERSE 1:
I know this life is filled with sorrow –And there are days when the pain just lasts and lasts– But I know there will come a day– When our tears are washed away –With a break in the clouds His glory coming down–And in that moment–CHORUS:
Every knee shall bow–Every tongue confess–That God is love And love has come for us all–Every heart set free–Every one will see That God is love And love has come for us all
VERSE 2:
For anybody who has ever lost a loved one–And you feel like you had to let go too soon–I know it hurts to say goodbye–But don’t you know it’s just a matter of time–‘Til the tears are gonna end–You’ll see them once again And in that moment
BRIDGE 1:
Oh, and on that day–We will stand amazed At our Savior, God and King–Just to see the face Of amazing grace–As our hearts rise up and sing
BRIDGE 2: Glory, glory, hallelujah–Thank You for the cross–Singing glory, glory, hallelujah–Christ has paid the cost
A JEWISH WOMAN’S JOURNEY (6 min video)
COMFORT IN GRIEF
Gerry, I lost my son a little over a year ago. Was an evangelical, but wasn’t satisfied with what I believed. After careful study have come to hope in the good news that Jesus is the Savior of all. I have developed a website in memory of my son and to share the good news of the gospel and linked to your site… Thank you for such a wonderful resource. Blessings, Louis

SAVIOR OF THE WORLD
This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptance. For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. These things command and teach. (1Ti. 4:9-11)
This must be a very important passage to warrant such a powerful introduction and closing. Paul exhorts us to view these faithful words as worthy of all acceptance, and tells us to command and teach these truths. Understand the importance of this critical passage. If God is the Savior exclusively of those who believe during their earthly existence, as our tradition teaches, then this passage is clearly in error. The difference between “exclusively” and “especially” is paramount. To interchange these concepts is to contradict Scripture…(CONTINUED BELOW VIDEO)
What does “especially of those who believe” mean? The immediate context sheds much light: “Set the believers an example….practice these duties….so that all may see your progress. Take heed to yourself and teaching; hold to that, for by so doing you will save both yourself and your hearers” (1Ti. 4:12-16 RSV).
Is this salvation by works? No, it is “working out” salvation (Ph. 2:12). God’s purpose in salvation is not to save us in our sins (Mt. 1:21), but from them. Christ saves us from our sinful nature and transforms us into His image (Ga. 4:19) so we may shine as lights in the world (Mt. 5:13-16). Thus, believers are “especially” saved because they have been justified by faith, and are presently working out their salvation as God empowers them (Ph. 2:13). Their salvation is being perfected (made complete) for all to see (1Ti. 4:15-16).
None of this changes the fact that God is still the Savior of those who do not yet believe. Once His righteous, just, and purpose-driven judgments have run their course, death will be destroyed, all will be made alive, and all will be subjected to Christ. Then God will be all in all (1Co. 15:22-28). He is, in an ultimate sense, the Savior of all men, (unbelievers and believers) but especially, at present, of believers.
The Greek word “especially,” is malista. Could it also mean “exclusively”? The only way to know is to observe how it is used in Scripture. This is a good example of how useful The Word Study Concordance can be. Malista occurs twelve times. As you read these references, try substituting the word “exclusively” and see how it fits.
• They…fell on Paul’s neck sorrowing most of all [malista] for the words which he spoke (Ac. 20:38).
• I have brought him out before you all and especially [malista] before you King Agrippa (Ac. 25:26).
• Agrippa…especially [malista] because you are an expert (Ac. 26:2-3).
• Let us do good to all, especially [malista] to those who are of the household of faith (Ga. 6:9-10).
• All the saints greet you, but especially [malista] those who are of Caesar’s household (Ph. 4:20-23).
• If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially [malista] for those of his household, he has denied the faith… (1Ti. 5:3-8).
• Elders be counted worthy of double honor, especially [malista] those who labor in the word and doctrine (1Ti. 5:16-18).
• Bring the cloak…and the books, especially [malista] the parchments (2Ti. 4:13).
• There are many…deceivers, especially [malista] those of the circumcision… (Tit. 1:10-11).
• But more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially [malista] to me but how much more to you (Phil. 16).
• Reserve…for the day of judgment, and especially [malista] those who walk according to the flesh (2Pe. 2:9-11).
Can we substitute the idea of “exclusively” for “especially” in any of these malista passages? No! Nor do we have grammatical or contextual grounds to do so in 1Ti. 4:10. Compare this passage with Ga. 6:10: “…let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. ”Can we neglect doing good to unbelievers? Of course not! Neither can we deny that God is the savior of all men. But to the contrary, we are commanded to teach this very thing!

MERCY ME
Separated until the veil was torn–The moment that hope was born–and guilt was pardoned once and for all–captivated but no longer bound by chains left at an empty grave the sinner and the sacred resolved
[chorus:] and all of creation sing with me now lift up your voice and lay your burden down and all of creation sing with me now fill up the heavens let his glory resound Time has faded and we see him face to face every doubt erased forever we will worhip the king
[repeat chorus] ohh ah ohhh…ohh ah ohhh the reason we breathe is to sing of his glory and for all he has done praise the father praise the son and the spirit in one
[repeat chorus 2x] and every knee will bow oh and every tongue praise the father praise the son and the spirit in one
THAT’S MY KING
The late S.M. Lockridge once presented an incredible message, describing our God and who He is. Though God can’t be described with just words, this is as close as you can get this side of Heaven.Our Lord is an awesome Lord! He’s the SAVIOR OF THE WORLD!

I see an army - I hear a song rise in the nations, beautiful and strong. A song of mercy that shatters pride, a song of great love that purifies. I see warriors with hands upraised, holding no weapon, but their swords of praise. Strongholds shatter. Kings bow down before the Master and yield their crowns. And every eye will see Him as Love wins through at last. And every heart be drawn unto the Lamb. Every voice will cry out what every heart will know and before the throne we stand. I see the earth now, its groanings cease. Creation lifts praise to the Prince of Peace. Wars have ended and weapons fall. An invitation to one and all. I see the Church now as a passionate Bride. I see her Lover with His fiery eyes. All His longing and her desire join as one flame in heaven's fire. And every eye will see Him as Love wins through at last. And every heart be drawn unto the Lamb. Every voice will cry out what every heart will know and before the throne we stand. I see a kingdom that never ends. I see a Judge now who calls sinners 'Friends'. Who gathers rebels and overwhelms Them with His mercy so He can dwell in hearts He's captured and rules in love. He wraps around them a robe dipped in blood. His tears are washing their fears away and then He lifts them to see His face. And every eye will see Him as Love wins through at last. And every heart be drawn unto the Lamb. Every voice will cry out what every heart will know and before the throne we stand. All will gaze in wonder at the reach of heaven's plan. How could mercy touch the lowest man? Drawn from every nation, every voice, and every tongue, amazed at what the Lord of Love has done. amazed at what the Lord of Love has done. I see a King now and I believe. I hear His voice now and He's calling me.
