Devotional for Easter

Today's cross: Painted crucifix from El Salvador, 
a gift for Pastor Charles in 1997.

Charles Wesley


JESUS, the Conqu’ror reigns,

In glorious strength array’d;

His kingdom over all maintains,

And bids the earth be glad.

 

Ye sons of men, rejoice

In Jesu’s mighty love:

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice,

To him who rules above.

 

Extol his kingly pow’r;

Kiss the exalted Son,

Who died, and lives to die no more,

High on his Father’s throne.

 

Our Advocate with God,

He undertakes our cause,

And spreads through all the earth abroad

The vict’ry of his cross.



Parting words from John Wesley

“Now, then, do all diligence to walk in every respect according to the light you have received. Now be zealous to receive more light daily, more of the knowledge and love of God, more of the Spirit of Christ, more of his life, and of the power of his resurrection. Now use all the knowledge and love and life and power you have already attained. So shall you continually go on from faith to faith. So shall you daily increase in holy love, till faith is swallowed up in sight, and the law of love established to all eternity.”

(Sermon 36: The Law Established through Faith-Discourse II)
