Hebrews 9:12 “He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.”
Jesus Paid It All is our foundation hymn for this Sunday, July 31, 2011. It is a result of a board choir member doodling on a flyleaf. The sermon had gone too long for Elvina Hall’s mind to stay focused. She began to let her mind wander and she wrote:
“I hear my Savior say, thy strength indeed is small. Thou has naught My debt to pay, find in Me thy all in all.”
The words fell into the hands of John T. Grape, the organist at Mountain Street Methodist Church. The organ at Mountain Street Methodist had been taken to John’s home for safe keeping while the church was renovated. There he composed the music to “Jesus Paid It All”.

Each one of us had the crimson stain of sin in our hearts. The price to have this stain removed is much too great for any of us to pay. So Jesus came and paid it all. The entire debt has been paid.

In todays economy many people are upside down in their mortgage. The debt owed is far greater than the value of the property. Jesus not only paid our debt in full, He paid a far greater price than any of us could have ever imagined.
“And when before the throne, I stand in Him complete. Jesus died my soul to save, my lips shall still repeat. Jesus paid it all. All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.”

This week think about how much Jesus paid for you! He gave all as he paid it all.
