3. O The Blood
Scripture: Hebrews 9:12 (CSB) - “He entered the most holy place once for all time, not by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.”
In “O The Blood,” we reflect on the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus. His blood, shed for us, is the cornerstone of our faith and the reason for our hope.
4. I’ve Been To Calvary
Scripture: Galatians 2:20 (CSB) - “I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
