Saints and Sinners Together

Jesus, hail! enthroned in glory,

there forever to abide;

all the heavenly hosts adore thee,

seated at thy Father’s side.  

There for sinners thou art pleading;

there thou dost our place prepare;

thou for saints art interceding

till in glory they appear.

—verse 3 of Hail, Thou Once Despised Jesus

Saints and sinners together…sounds like a real, normal church to me.

Saints and sinners together…both are  the focus of the Resurrected, Ascended Christ, says this song.

For sinners, Christ is pleading.  I’m one, and I’m grateful.

For saints, Christ is interceding.   By the grace of God, I’m one and I’m grateful.

Today, let’s you and me join other saints and sinners together in a thankful prayer.
