Hebrews 11:19

Hebrews 11:19  “He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which figuratively speaking, he did receive him back.”

Lord, You said that whoever believes in You would also do the works that You did

They will do even greater things than these, You said

What did that mean, Lord?

Your Spirit has impressed on me, over the years, that You are far more than an example

You are the sinless Lamb of God, slain before the foundation of the world to bring about salvation to all mankind

Therefore I worship You, and lift high Your name

I praise You for Your great and wonderful works

I extol You for Your heart of compassion, that remembers we are but dust

I lift Your praise before all the world that all might know Your saving grace

And in it I confess that I am utterly unworthy

I am sinful and heart-wicked, and were it not for Your work of regeneration in me, I would have destroyed myself by now

Can such a one as I approach You in faith and ask for Your promises to be kept?

Can I truly call You Father, and Brother?

Can these unclean lips proclaim Your truth? Yet You call me to

And this is surely a greater thing, that the righteous requirements of the Law should be fulfilled in me. In me! Because of You

That the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead should dwell in me

That there is a glory to be revealed in me, one which will never fade or pass away

And in this hope I will ever praise You

My Lord, my Brother, my King. Amen

My name is Jeremy Vogan. I live in Staunton, VA with my wife and four kids. I love to write, and seek to honestly explore the intellectual and emotional implications of following Jesus as a deeply broken person in a twisted, cruel world that is full of veiled beauty and meaning. Writing is part of how I faithfully look for Jesus Christ to someday make all things new. I'd enjoy hearing your feedback! JV
