The Lord of the Hills

Up on a hill far away stood the Lord of all. The Lord who stood in our place on our judgment day. The blood of tears he cried for us, the moans of hell he moaned for us, the weight of sin he carried for us, our pain and suffering he felt for us. Despised and rejected of men, yet he still stood strong for us. Yet we rejected him, we turned our backs on him, but he never failed us. How did we deserve such a great God? We don't, but he deserves us, deserves our attention, deserves our time with him. And so I gave him my heart. Just like I hope all of you do. Jesus died for us on Calvary more than 2,000 years ago, but what he did for us then and what we are to do for him today is still them same. It's always be the same, the same in 1801, the same in 1902, the same in 1957, and the same in 2009. Over and over again the same question is asked throughout the decades, what can I do for Christ? And so the answer is the same for everyone in every time period, in every part of the world. It's so simple, I can't believe I didn't realize it before now. What does God want us to do? God wants us to come to the cross, accept him in our lives, and let his blood wash away our sins. And to take the story of Jesus dying on the cross to all the world. Now we may all spread the story of Jesus living, dying on the cross, and rising from the grave to live again in different ways. Some may be preachers and preach the words of Christ. Others may be actors and act out stories about Christ. Others may be singers and sing about Christ. Others writers and write about Christ, others teachers and teach the words of Christ. There are thousands of other ways we all can serve Christ with our life here on earth. But they all have that common denominator to tell the news about Jesus. It's time the world knew there is a God, and not just any God, but a wonderful God who scarified for everyone on earth and came down from Heaven above, left all his splendor, to die on a cross for all of our sins. To free us from an eternity of hell and pain and to save us from our sins. I can't think of a better way to live all eternity then in Heaven by Jesus' side, praising God forever.
