Never Alone

At times we feel what a world of sorrow that we are in. It is true that in Christ we have such joy, a joy that we experience in the intimacy of fellowship with Him. But Jesus came into this world of sin and sorrow, filled with all that grace and truth is. In coming down here, He became despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief like no other.

But if in a world of sin and sorrow, grace and truth have come in, and now love has risen above all the sin and sorrow. None of us could have received a thing from God if Jesus hadn't come down from heaven. He came down and having entered into the worst of all it could bring on us, has given us a place out of it all.

You and I remain in this scene of sin and sorrow, but love has revealed itself by coming down right into all of our sin and sorrow, that we can have that perfect and conquering and comforting love.

Yes, Jesus was a man of sorrows and none like His. His love, that is so for us, is perfect in its identification with us in this scene of sin and sorrow, as well as delivering us out of it all. A love and deliverance that is ours right now and for all eternity.

He is giving us songs in the night, preparing us to sing in the light of the Lamb, "Worthy is the Lamb." He will be the only One, bearing in His body in heaven, the scars of a love that we will never come to the end of experiencing.

Rev. 5:9, “And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for You were slain, and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”
