“I am myself more cut down than I thought I should be, but I hope not impatient. I do not forget that to have possessed her at all, and to have enjoyed the pleasure of looking at her, and caressing her, for six months, was God’s free gift, and still less do I forget that He who has taken her will at length, I hope, restore her to us.”

Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness (Pt. 2) Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

IN THIS EPISODE: "Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness" by Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf (1700-1760), trans. by John Wesley (1703-1791)

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Who shall bring any charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.

Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness (Pt. 1) Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

IN THIS EPISODE: "Jesus, Thy Blood and Righteousness" by Nicolaus L. von Zinzendorf (1700-1760), trans. by John Wesley (1703-1791)

They were not dismayed in reflecting on the smallness of their means and abilities, and that they hardly knew their way to the heathen whose salvation they so ardently longed for, nor by the prospect of enduring hardships of every kind and even perhaps the loss of their lives in the attempt. Yet their love to their Savior and their fellow sinners for whom He shed His blood, far outweighed all these considerations. They went forth in the strength of their God and He has wrought wonders in their behalf.
