JESUS! THE ABIDING, FAITHFUL COMPANION FOREVER. By Michael Adejoh
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, *lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.* Amen.
— Matthew 28:20
The greatest thing that can happen to a life on earth is to be a believer in Christ Jesus and the greatest access and asset to a believer is the abiding Presence of the Lord; *lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.*
It is well there is One who is ever the same, and who is ever with us. It is well there is one stable rock amidst the billows of the sea of life. O my soul, set not your affections upon rusting, moth-eaten, decaying treasures, but let mine heart be set upon him who abides forever faithful. Build not thine house upon the moving quicksands of a deceitful world, but found your hopes upon this rock, which, amid descending rain and roaring floods, shall stand immovably secure.
My soul, I charge thee, lay up thy treasure in the only secure cabinet; store thy treasure where thou canst never lose them. Put thine all in Christ; set all thine affections on His person, all thy hope in His merit, all thy trust in His efficacious blood, all thy joy in His presence, and so thou mayest laugh at loss, and defy destruction. Remember that all the flowers in the world’s garden fade by turns, and the day cometh when nothing will be left bBut the black, cold earth. Death’s black extinguisher must soon put out thy candle. Oh! how sweet to have sunlight when the candle is gone! The dark flood must soon roll between thee and all thou hast; then wed thine heart to Him who will never leave thee; trust thyself with Him who will go with thee through the black and surging current of death’s stream, and who will land thee safely on the celestial shore, and make thee sit with Him in heavenly places forever.
Go, though sorrowing son of affliction, tell thy secrets to the Friend who sticketh closer than a brother. Trust all thy concerns with Him who never can be taken from thee, who will never leave thee, and who will never let thee leave Him, even “Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, and today, and forever.” “Lo, I am with you alway,” is enough for my soul to live upon, let who will forsake me, for as long as Jesus abide with me, I am forever saved. Amen.
Have a wonderful and a blessed day.
