The so called Red Letter words of Christ are those he spoke while on earth. Many extremists tell us they are quote: “not for us today”. That’s exactly what the devil wants you to believe. But I love the Red Letter words of Christ such as these prophesying of his sacrificial death on the cross for my sins

Matthew 20:28: Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Matthew 26:27-28: And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

John 10:10-11: The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep.

John 10:15: As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.

John 10:17-18: Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.

Do you love the Red Letter words of Christ such as these?

If not, why not?
