Behold The Lamb- The 33rd Album From Christ

Behold The Lamb Album Art and link to Album tracks —meditative Christian Instrumentals Inspired by the Holy Spirit, focusing on the Redemptive Work of Christ from the Gospel of John. — Album Art For Behold The Lamb

It is with the greatest joy that I share with you my latest release of Christian Instrumentals~ appropriately titled “Behold The Lamb.”

Why is that an appropriate name for the thirty-third album of musical instrumentals whose tracks and music are focused on various passages in the life of Christ from the Gospel of John?

Jesus Christ, the Son of God, spilled His spotless blood on the cross as an eternal sacrifice to pay for the deliverance from our sins at the age of thirty three.

I could never have known ten years ago when the Lord inspired me to publish my first album that He would give me thirty-three albums of music to glorify His name throughout the earth~or astonishingly, that He would prompt me to call the thirty-third album of music to His children “Behold The Lamb.”

The Lord encouraged me several years ago to write an attribution on the cover (or somewhere visible) on all my works that they are accomplished “…through the Indwelling Risen Lord Jesus Christ, Inspired by the Holy Spirit, to the Glory of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.”

Why did He do this?

He wanted to remind not only me, but all of His children that Christ said always it was His Father within Him that did His miracles, and that apart from His Father He could do nothing.

Jesus said, ““Abide in Me, and I in you.
As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself,
except it abide in the vine;
no more can ye, except ye abide in Me.”
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.15.4.KJV
John‬ ‭15‬:‭4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing.”
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/1/jhn.15.5.KJV
John‬ ‭15‬:‭5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I must remind everyone that my music from the Lord is truly a miracle gift. For I wasn’t a musician until Christ sovereignly dropped His music gift into my lap and asked me to do this work for Him. (*I’m not a trained musician and can only play or sing the music that the Lord gives me for His children. I truly can do none of my work apart from Christ.)

Jesus Christ said that He was going to dwell within each of His children who would keep His Words, and abide in Him.

Jesus said, “Don’t you believe that I am in the Father,
and the Father in Me? The words that I tell you, I speak not from Myself; but the Father who lives in Me does His works.”
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.14.10.WEBUS
John‬ ‭14‬:‭10‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬

Jesus said, “Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me; or else believe me for the very works’ sake.”
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.14.11.WEBUS
John‬ ‭14‬:‭11‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬

Jesus said,“Most certainly I tell you, he who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also; and he will do greater works than these, because I am going to my Father.”
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.14.12.WEBUS
John‬ ‭14‬:‭12‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬

Jesus said, “In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.”

https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.14.15.WEBUS

Jesus said, “One who has My commandments and keeps them, that person is one who loves Me. One who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him, and will reveal Myself to him.””
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.14.21.WEBUS
John‬ ‭14‬:‭21‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬

“Jesus answered him, “If a man loves Me, he will keep My word. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make Our home with him.”
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.14.23.WEBUS
John‬ ‭14‬:‭23‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬

Jesus said,“He who doesn’t love Me
doesn’t keep My words.
The word which you hear isn’t Mine,
but the Father’s who sent Me.”
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.14.24.WEBUS
John‬ ‭14‬:‭24‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬

When we believe and act by faith on Jesus’ words, He really does show that He is the risen Lord and Savior and manifests Himself to our hearts.

He directs and guides our life;

His Holy Spirit comes to live in our hearts and we become the living temples of the Holy Spirit.

Christ manifests His reality to the world through our faith and obedience to Him.

We honor and worship Him by obeying Him.

Often our obedience to Christ is misunderstood and therefore misinterpreted.

But we cannot worry about what others will think about us, or allow their opinion or even rejection of us deter us from obeying our Lord Jesus Christ.

Christ must be our Head, our supreme Authority, our King and God, or else we have an idol.

Jesus said that no man can have two masters.

““You cannot serve two masters at the same time.
You will hate one and love the other, or you will be loyal to one and not care about the other.
You cannot serve God and Money
at the same time.”
‭‭
https://bible.com/bible/406/mat.6.24.ERV
Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭24‬ ‭ERV‬‬

The price that a Christian is purchased or redeemed with is the spotless blood of Jesus Christ.

“You were bought with the precious blood of Christ’s death. He was a pure and perfect sacrificial Lamb.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭1‬:‭19‬ ‭ERV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/406/1pe.1.19.ERV

Each Christian who calls on Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior is a living temple wherein the Spirit of Christ dwells.

“Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6‬:‭19‬-‭20‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/206/1co.6.19-20.WEBUS

Each professing Christian is a human representative or ambassador of Christ on earth who is proclaiming to the world that the risen Lord Jesus Christ lives within them.

“Look closely at yourselves. Test yourselves to see if you are living in the faith. Don’t you realize that Christ Jesus is in you? Of course, if you fail the test, He is not in you.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭13‬:‭5‬ ‭ERV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/406/2co.13.5.ERV

“God decided to let His people know just how rich and glorious that truth is. That secret truth, which is for all people, is that Christ lives in you, His people. He is our hope for glory.”
‭‭Colossians‬ ‭1‬:‭27‬ ‭ERV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/406/col.1.27.ERV

“We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For Him who knew no sin He made to be sin on our behalf, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/206/2co.5.20-21.WEBUS

The Lord Jesus Christ redeemed us with His spotless blood and only has our best interest in mind.

His Word admonishes us to seek the Lord, for we cannot cultivate our relationship with Him without abiding in fellowship with our Lord.

“Seek Yahweh while He may be found. Call on Him while He is near.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭55‬:‭6‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/206/isa.55.6.WEBUS

Jesus Christ said on the Eve before His crucifixion, “…

“This is eternal life, that they should know You, the only true God, and Him whom You sent, Jesus Christ.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.17.3.WEBUS

“Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.””
‭‭John‬ ‭6‬:‭29‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/206/jhn.6.29.WEBUS

“Always rejoice. Pray without ceasing. In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.”
‭‭1 Thessalonians‬ ‭5‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭WEBUS‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/206/1th.5.16-18.WEBUS

Each one of these verses is an admonition to remain in the presence of the Lord.

Rejoice always…be joyful how, and why?

We give our praise to God for His wondrous blessings!

What is one of His beautiful blessings? Forgiveness. He forgives all our sins. He suffered and died on the cross to forever cleanse us from the stain of sin.

Others may condemn us for our faults but read what the scriptures say and rejoice in Christ!

“Who shall bring any charge against God’s elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?] Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭33‬-‭34‬ ‭AMPC‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/8/rom.8.33-34.AMPC

We meditate on Christ and the precious gifts we have in Him.

Pray without ceasing..this is abiding in Christ’s presence and it takes a choice admittedly and a determination not to abide in the world or conform to it.

Give thanks in all circumstances, and this is really a difficult one, but we can still abide in Christ here even when we vent to Him because Hebrews 4 says:

“Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”
‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭4‬:‭14‬-‭16‬ ‭ESV‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/59/heb.4.14-16.ESV

No matter what our issue, if we choose to, we can abide in Christ or His Word would not have said it was His Will for us to do so.

Truly, I know these spiritual practices are challenging and take much perseverance and prayer.

But our Lord loves each of us very much. He redeemed us with His blood, therefore He paid the highest possible price for our souls.

“But when we live in a right way, it is like living in the light. God is always in the light. So, if we live in the light, we share together in the life which God gives. And when Jesus, the Son of God, died on the cross, He saved us from all our sins. The blood of His sacrifice makes us clean. If we say that we never do any wrong thing, we are deceiving ourselves. Even though we may think it is true, it is a lie. Instead, we should agree that we have done wrong things and tell that to God. Then God will forgive us for our sins. He always does what He has promised to do. He always does what is right. He will forgive us and He will make us clean again, whatever bad things we may have done. God says that all people have done wrong things. So, if we say that we have not done any wrong thing, we are saying that God tells lies. It shows that we have not accepted His message at all.”
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭7‬-‭10‬ ‭EASY‬‬
https://bible.com/bible/2079/1jn.1.7-10.EASY

When we stumble and make mistakes, (and we all do because we are human, not one of us is perfect,) Jesus does not condemn us; when we humbly go to Him and ask, He forgives us and says, “…let’s try again.”

His Spirit within us is there to help us hear His voice in our hearts and want to obey Him. (*See Romans 8)

Jesus is on our side.
He wants to help us succeed in accomplishing His will.
All we need do is abide in Him and pray,
and keep true to His Word daily.
He will take care of manifesting Himself to our hearts, teaching us His word,
and showing us His will.

I’m very excited about sharing the Lord’s new album inspired by the Holy Spirit as a tribute to Christ’s life and redemptive ministry, and pray that the Lord will speak through His Word to each heart that listens to His songs and encourage them mightily with His love and grace, in Jesus’ name, amen.

In Christ’s love,

Suzanne ♥️

“And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.”

For God So Loved The World

Featured ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

An Easter Greeting — **For God So Loved The World**

For God so loved the world
A world condemned and lost
That He gave His only Son
To die upon a cross;
His one and only spotless Son
Who had no sin in Him,
Who bore the sins of every soul
And was condemned for them;
He suffered sickness, grief, and shame,
Wretchedness, unending pain,
Betrayal, persecution, death,
The curse of hell in the end…
He took upon Himself the curse
God’s righteous Law said we deserved
Because all souls from Adam’s race
Are born in sin and must be saved.
Adam is a word that stands
For each and every soul of man
Women, children it includes,
~Adam sinned for me and you.
Though we were never born as yet
His sin affected all his race.

When Jesus died upon the cross
He bore the sins of all the lost,
That all who might believe in Him
By faith be made righteous within.
Adam disobeyed God’s Law
And all in Him became sinners…
Jesus Christ obeyed God’s will
To take upon Himself man’s sin…
And all who will believe in Christ
Who in His cross choose to abide
Have their sins by Him removed
In Christ by faith they are made pure
For Christ, their Adam, God obeyed
And by His act many souls saved
Through faith in Him and by God’s grace.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

May Christ Be Honored.

ENCOURAGING SCRIPTURES FOR MEDITATION

“God gave Jesus as a way to forgive people’s sins
through their faith in Him.
God can forgive them
because the blood sacrifice of Jesus
pays for their sins.

God gave Jesus to show that
He always does what is right and fair.
He was right in the past
when He was patient
and did not punish people for their sins.

And in our own time He still does what is right.
God worked all this out in a way
that allows Him to judge people fairly
and still make right any person
who has faith in Jesus.

God makes people right
through their faith in Jesus Christ.

He does this for all
who believe in Christ.
Everyone is the same.

All have sinned
and are not good enough
to share God’s divine greatness.
They are made right
with God by His grace.
This is a free gift.

They are made right with God
by being made free from sin
through Jesus Christ.”
Romans 3:22-26 ERV (Easy to Read Version)

“When Adam sinned,
sin entered the world.

Adam’s sin brought death,
so death spread to everyone,
for everyone sinned.

Yes, people sinned
even before the law was given.
But it was not counted as sin
because there was not yet
any law to break.

Still, everyone died—
from the time of Adam
to the time of Moses—
even those who did not disobey
an explicit commandment of God,
as Adam did.

Now Adam is a symbol,
a representation of Christ,
who was yet to come.

But there is a great difference
between Adam’s sin
and God’s gracious gift.

For the sin of this one man, Adam,
brought death to many.

But even greater
is God’s wonderful grace
and his gift of forgiveness to many
through this other man, Jesus Christ.

And the result of God’s gracious gift
is very different from the result
of that one man’s sin.

For Adam’s sin
led to condemnation,
but God’s free gift leads to our
being made right with God,
even though we are
guilty of many sins.

For the sin of
this one man, Adam,
caused death to rule
over many.

But even greater
is God’s wonderful grace
and his gift of righteousness,
for all who receive it
will live in triumph
over sin and death
through this one man,
Jesus Christ.

Yes, Adam’s one sin
brings condemnation for everyone,
but Christ’s one act of righteousness
brings a right relationship with God
and new life for everyone.

Because one person disobeyed God,
many became sinners.

But because one other person
obeyed God,
many will be made righteous.

God’s law was given so that all people
could see how sinful they were.
But as people sinned more and more,
God’s wonderful grace
became more abundant.

So just as sin ruled over all people
and brought them to death,
now God’s wonderful grace
rules instead,
giving us right standing
with God and resulting in eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

Romans 5:12-21 NLT (New Living Translation)

Death Could Not Hold Him

Featured ~ Suzanne Davis Harden

Death Could Not Hold Him

On the cross Christ bore the sins
Of all humanity
Not all the pain and sin and shame
For all eternity
Not even all the hosts of hell
Nor death claimed victory…

Over Christ, God’s only Son
Who shed His spotless blood
To redeem our sinful souls
And make us each His child…

Born anew in righteousness,
Not ours but Christ’s alone,
A righteousness we could not earn
But His redemption clothed.

Christ purchased righteousness for us
With His spotless blood;
We receive His gift of grace,
By faith we know and trust

That God is ever faithful,
That He can never lie
He was faithful to His Son
To raise Him back to life
After Jesus bore our sins
And suffered hell three days
His Father kept His Holy Word
And rose Him from the grave…

Now He lives to die no more
So all can now be saved
Who come to Christ for salvation
When to the Lord they pray
Asking Christ into their heart
His children now are they
To ever walk with Him by faith
To love Jesus with all their heart
And ever sing His praise.
In Jesus’ holy name,
Amen.

GOD SHALL WIPE AWAY ALL TEARS

November 24, 2016 ~ Suzanne Davis Harden ~ 4 Comments

rev-21-4-wipe-away-all-tears

God Shall Wipe Away Every Tear

I once had a doll named “Pitiful Pearl” when I was a small child. In all my memories of her she has a tiny tear attached to her homely little face. Whether the tear was an original part of the doll or I drew it on her, I’m not sure. I only remember one of her big eyes had a tiny tear affixed to it which made her look perpetually sad, even though she wore a faint painted on smile. Her clothes were all bedraggled giving her the appearance of a poor abandoned orphan.

I wanted this doll from the moment I saw her advertised. I don’t remember whether she was a Christmas or birthday gift, but my mom and dad always bought me the dolls I requested without asking any questions. They never failed to encourage me to be myself and to play with the toys that spoke to my heart.

They were wonderful parents for they always nurtured me in the gifts and talents that God had given me.

I loved my little Pearl. I pretended she was the “Little Match Girl” in Hans Christian Andersen’s Fairy Tale and poor Cinderella and every other victim in many another fairy tale. She was a great doll! And if I felt sad in any way I would identify with her.

Like the time my imaginary friend Dinky called my little sister a “Stinker” – a notoriously bad word in those days- and I got in trouble for it!!

But then came the day when my oldest brother went on a rampage and decided to pretend to have a war raid. He had been inspired by old west movies and TV shows.

My dolls became the hapless victims of his vivid imagination. He kidnapped my Chatty Cathy and my Pitiful Pearl and buried them in the vast no man’s land we called “the Lot” outside far beyond the garage somewhere and then refused to tell me where he’d buried my precious dolls.

I was inconsolable… till I discovered the Barbie, Ken, and Midge dolls… 🙂

That Pitiful Pearl doll has lived in my memory more than any other doll I had as a child. Maybe it’s because of its sad little tear and incongruous smile despite its raggedness.

The Bible says in Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.”

God cherishes each of us. He came to us in the form of a man, as Jesus Christ to save us from our sins. Jesus told the Pharisees, who were the religious leaders of His day, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” -Luke 5:31-32

The Bible says in the book of Romans 3:23 “…for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”

Jesus Christ came to save all people. For God’s word says in Romans 3:10-11: “.. as it is written: “None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.”

We all need Jesus. But not all see this truth. Jesus said in His sermon on the Mount, “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:3)

In God’s sight, we all, like my Pitiful Pearl doll, have a tiny tear in our eye. That tear is sin, a hopelessness, that only He can wipe away. Jesus has made a way to wash this tear away, through His spotless blood that He shed for all of us on His cross when He suffered and died for our sins over 2000 years ago.

He says in Romans 10:9-11, 13 “…if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” …For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

Though we may die and be buried like my Pitiful Pearl doll, Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die.” (John 11:25-26)

Pitiful Pearl still lives on in my heart though she’s been buried in the lot of the house where I grew up for many years now. Her memory has never left me.

Even so, those who love Jesus will live forever in the heart of God, only in a more beautiful way which is far beyond anything we could ever dream or imagine.

God’s word says in 1 Corinthians 2:9 “But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him…”—

And as for all our tears, God promises to wipe away every tear, every sorrow, and all death forever someday.

Revelation 21:4 says, “God will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”

These are beautiful truths to ponder and be thankful for as we gather with our loved ones and friends over the Thanksgiving Holidays. May each of you have a blessed Thanksgiving with your loved ones and friends. God bless you all with rivers of peace, hope, health, and joy, in Jesus name, amen.
