POEM: No Condemnation Can Be Brought

Taken from Methodist Message, December 2010 Issue, this poem by Samuel Bernard is titled No Condemnation Can Be Brought. Once again, as Christmas approaches, I'm called to reflect upon the victory that we have through Christ, whom we received our salvation from!

No Condemnation Can Be Brought

Against the sons of God;
Christ hath for them a cleansing wrought,
And washed them in His blood.
They are righteous in what He's done,
And evermore will be;
They stand complete in Christ the Son,
From condemnation free.
Justice demanded all the debt,
Of Christ in whom is laid,
Just as the time the Saviour set,
The debt He came and paid.
If Jesus had not paid the debt,
Or suffered all the pain,
He ne'er had been at freedom set,
He ne'er had rose again.
But when we see the Saviour rise,
Triumphant from the dead,
Our hopes ascend above the skies,
With our victorious Head.

Luke 19:10
"For the Son of Man came to seek and to save what was lost."
