I Am Willing

JULY 5, 2024

Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.”
Matthew 8:3

 Recommended Reading: Titus 3:1-8

Hymnist Fanny Crosby heard a sermon preached by her relative Dr. Howard Crosby in which he said no Christian should fear death, for the same grace that teaches us how to live will teach us how to die. Inspired by his words, Miss Crosby wrote a hymn that spoke of the joy she would feel when she died and awoke “within the palace of the King!” She said in the chorus, “And I shall see Him face to face, and tell the story—saved by grace!”

Our whole culture is built on the idea of good works, which are rewarded by promotion and increase. But the Gospel turns that on its head. Titus 3:4-5 tells us that we aren’t saved by works of righteousness which we have done but by His mercy and grace.

It’s an indescribable relief to know we don’t have to work our way to heaven. How terrible to fear every fault and failure. It’s by grace we are saved, by the One who said, “I am willing; be cleansed.”

Someday my earthly house will fall, I cannot tell how soon ‘twill be; but this I know—my All in All has now a place in heaven for me.
Fanny Crosby
