I WAS ON HIS MIND

 

John 10:14-17

14 I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.

15 As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

 

          I heard an older song at church yesterday which reminded me that Jesus had both a global and timeless focus. When He was on the Cross was written by Mike Payne and Ronnie Hinson.  

 

          In John chapter seventeen, Jesus prayed for future believers, like me. “Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word” John 17:20.

 

Though His eyes were on the crowd that day

He looked ahead in time

'Cause when He was on the cross

I was on His mind

 

He knew me, yet He loved me

He whose glory makes the Heaven shine

So unworthy of such mercy

Yet when He was on the cross

I was on His mind

 

Merciful Savior, thank you for thinking of me while you were suffering. You knew me thoroughly and yet you loved me. Before I ever was, I was on your mind. Thank you. AMEN
