Prayer to Jesus Christ constitutes yet another evidence for his deity. Jesus instructed His disciples to pray to Him (John 14:14; 15:16; 16:23-24). Acts 1:24-25 records that the disciples prayed to Christ for guidance in choosing a replacement for Judas Iscariot. Stephen voiced two prayerful requests to Jesus: “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit,” and “Lord, do not hold this sin against them” (Acts 7:59-60). In Damascus, Ananias instructed Saul to be baptized and to call on the name of Jesus (Acts 22:16). The apostle Paul later wrote that “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved” (Rom. 10:13; see 1 Cor. 1:2). Paul also appealed to Christ to remove the “messenger of Satan” from him (2 Cor. 12:7-8). Indeed, the New Testament closes with a prayer to Christ: “Come, Lord Jesus!” (Rev. 22:20).

Yes To The Cost

You are currently viewing Yes To The Cost

The Son of Man in agony
He cried out, “Take this cup from Me
And not My will, let Yours be done
Not My will, let Yours be done”
The choice would cost Him everything
The weight of sin poured out on Him
And not my will, let Yours be done

He counted the cost
That all the world would know this love
And now my response
Is my yes and once and for all

The fear of man is drowning now
The fear of God has filled my soul
I cannot be silent, no
I will not be silent, no
A passive life I will not live
Awake my soul to burn again
I cannot be silent, no

And we are the sons and the daughters of thunder
We are the ones who will carry revival
And we give our lives for the sake of the Gospel
No compromise, for the cost has been settled
And we are the sons and the daughters of thunder
And we are the ones who will carry revival
And we give our lives for the sake of the Gospel
And no compromise, for the cost has been settled

It’s settled
We say “yes” to You, Jesus
I say “yes”
Here we go!

I say “yes”
