| Jesus … asked His disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the Son of Man, am? And they said, Some say that Thou art John the Baptist; some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. (Matt. 16:13‑16) |
| Disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious. (1 Peter 2:4) |
Thou hast by blood made sinners meet
As saints in light, to come
And worship at the mercy-seat,
Before the eternal throne. |
Thy precious name is all we show,
Our only passport, Lord;
And full assurance now we know,
Confiding in Thy Word. |
