In his brief 38 years here on earth, Philip P. Bliss left a lasting legacy of hymns. One of the most loved is "Jesus Loves Even Me." Before we come to Jesus and accept Him as our Savior, we are, by our very nature, His enemy. And yet, in His great mercy, He loves us. He gave His life for us, **while we were still sinners.** Truly, Jesus loves even ME.
