“Cast your deadly doing down; down at Jesus’ feet. Stand in Him, in Him alone; gloriously complete.” – James Proctor
These words, written in the 1864 hymn, “It is Finished,” perfectly sum up the message that has been moving through the family at Eternal for the past few years. Note that we do not cast our doings down. We cast our deadly doings down, which are the works motivated from any other passion than what has already happened to and within us. Efforts toward earning our way, or “paying off” His finished work, communicate that Jesus’ sacrifice was insufficient and that we can somehow take back control of our lives. His completed work of rescue and restoration should both melt and claim our hearts forever. It is only then that our “works” will be beautiful to the Father as they come from an overflow of Christ in us.
These four songs are a reflection and response to the Scriptures and to what the Lord has been been doing in our midst at Eternal. Our prayer is that these songs would give you a voice to sing and express great truths about who He is and all that he has done for His Church.
