Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 10

Ten Certainties for Uncertain Times, Part 10

-Roy Lessin, Meeting in the Meadow

Jesus Christ will never let you go.

He is with you always. No one can pluck you out of His hand. He is in you, and you are in Him. He is your Shepherd, and He will watch over you. You need not fear any evil. He is your High Priest. He is daily interceding for you, and His prayers are being answered. He is your Bridegroom. He is preparing a place for you in His Father’s house and He will come for you. 
 
His hands that hold you are pierced hands. If you ever question His love for you, look at His hands. His arms were once outstretched on the cross so that He could embrace you now with His unfailing love. When He shed His blood, He took your sin; when He died on the cross, He took your death; when He ascended into hell, He took your judgment; when He rose from the grave, He won your victory.
 
Jesus will never ask you to do something without His grace. In the dark times, He will be your light. In troubled times, He will be your security. In uncertain times, He will be your guidance. In fearful times, He will be your peace. You will never face a day without Him; you will never take a step without Him walking beside you; you will never face a need without His supply; you will never face a circumstance that He can’t bring you through triumphantly. 
 

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.

Then Jesus said to them again, “Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My sheep, and am known by My own. As the Father knows Me, even so I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep (John 10:1-15 NKJV).
