Jesus Christ will never let you go.
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.
