CCLI Song #7017786
Verse 1
There's a place
Where mercy reigns and never dies
There's a place
Where streams of grace flow deep and wide
Where all the love I've ever found
Comes like a flood comes flowing down
Chorus
At the cross at the cross
I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
and my sin washed white
I owe all to You
I owe all to You (Jesus)
Verse 2
There's a place
Where sin and shame are powerless
Where my heart
Has peace with God and forgiveness
Where all the love
I've ever found
Comes like a flood comes flowing down
Chorus
At the cross at the cross
I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
and my sin washed white
I owe all to You
I owe all to You (Jesus)
Bridge
Here my hope is found
Here on holy ground
Here I bow down
here I bow down
Here arms open wide
Here You saved my life
Here I bow down
here I bow (down)
Chorus
At the cross at the cross
I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
and my sin washed white
I owe all to You
I owe all to You (Jesus)
I owe all to You
I owe all to You (Jesus)

십자가 그 앞에 (Love Ran Red , At the cross 한국어)
1절
끝없는 주 자비가 늘 있는 곳
주 은혜 흘러가네 넓고 깊이
내 주 사랑 강물처럼
흘러가네 흘러가네
후렴
십자가 그 앞에 내 삶을 드리네
경외함으로 주 앞에 서네
붉게 흐르는 사랑의 보혈
내 죄를 희게 씻어주셨네 예수
2절
수치와 그 모든 죄 힘을 잃고
주 용서로 내 마음은 쉼을 얻네
내 주 사랑 강물처럼
흘러가네 흘러가네
브릿지
소망이 있네 거룩한 땅에
무릎 꿇고 경배하네
두 팔을 벌려 날 구하신 주
무릎 꿇고 경배해
Mar 22, 2026 "Turning Off the Spiritual Autopilot" (Matthew 24:36-46)
Matthew 24:36-46 New
International Version
The Day and Hour Unknown
36 “But about that day or hour
no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,[a]
but only the Father.
37 As it was in the days of
Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man.
38 For in the days before the
flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the
day Noah entered the ark;
39 and they knew nothing about
what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will
be at the coming of the Son of Man.
40 Two men will be in the field;
one will be taken and the other left.
41 Two women will be grinding
with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.
42 “Therefore keep watch, because
you do not know on what day your Lord will come.
43 But understand this: If
the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he
would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into.
44 So you also must be ready,
because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him.
45 “Who then is the faithful
and wise servant, whom the master has put in charge of the servants in his household
to give them their food at the proper time?
46 It will be good for that
servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.
Turning Off the Spiritual Autopilot
Matthew 24:36-46
For people who have had a lot of problems or hardship, the end times passage in Matthew does not seem to give much comfort. Jesus gave this message shortly beforehand was tried and crucified. Yet, Jesus could not bear to keep this message to himself because He wanted to warn us of what is to come.
Jesus reminds us of the first great disaster in Noah's time.
Matthew 24:38-39 ESV
[38] For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, [39] and they were unaware until the flood came and swept them all away, so will be the coming of the Son of Man.
Marrying, eating and drinking are not sins. But being too busy with our ordinary lives, can make us spiritually asleep. We start to ignore God and make Jesus less and less important in our lives.
Our hearts become asleep. We do not have trembling hearts or aching to become closer to God. Our work, lifestyle and other concerns shape our decisions and push us.
Jesus wants us to wake up. Jesus wants us to know what He did and suffered for us. Two days before he died, Jesus prayed. Jesus knew what he was going to endure. He asked his three most trusted disciples to pray with him and stay awake.
Matthew 26:38 ESV
[38] Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.”
The disciples fell asleep. Not because they hated Jesus or wanted Jesus to fail. They loved Jesus, but they were tired.
Matthew 26:40-43 ESV
[40] And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour? [41] Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” [42] Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.” [43] And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Jesus fought in prayer a spiritual battle. He was beaten and crucified suffering physically and carrying all our sins and shame. Jesus continues to fight for us, and many of us continue to sleep.
Some may be tempted to go to extremes and give away all their time and money. To fill their lives with busy church work. Yet, what does Jesus say?
Matthew 24:45-46 ESV
[45] “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his master has set over his household, to give them their food at the proper time? [46] Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
Jesus wants us to do the work given to us and be awake. Not to just passively wait, but to actively wait. That is to give their food at the proper time. That is to repent from those things that keep us from God and to fill up that with the good works he has given us. To love others as Jesus would love them.
Carrying the heart of Jesus takes concern and effort. Moving through our Christian walk on autopilot is not what Jesus wants. We need to be conscious and make deliberate efforts to follow Jesus.
Jesus' response to the disciples who had slept was not of condemnation or revenge. It was a call to action
Matthew 26:45-46 ESV
[45] Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. [46] Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."
Jesus wants us to love others as He loved us. Jesus wants us to reach out to the unsaved and tell them the good news. To reach out to the suffering and show His great love. Let us rise to the occasion.
