Unspeakable Consolation

We have the unspeakable consolation of knowing that the same divine and compassionate Redeemer who suffered, and bled, and died on for us has the entire management of our affairs; and that nothing can happen in the course of providence, which is not appointed by Him "Who loved us and gave Himself for us!"


In proportion to our persuasion of His love for us, should be our confidence in His government over us. And what proof of sincerity, or what pledge of love, can we desire which is not given by His past dealings on our behalf? If He died for us on the cruel cross then certainly He will now, when all things are put under His power, "make all things work together for our good!"


We may rest assured that the love which He manifested for us on earth, is but a pledge of the love which He still bears to us and that He will neither forget nor forsake us, until He has accomplished the grand end of His mission, by our deliverance from all evil, and our joyful entrance into the glorious kingdom of Heaven!


Oh! how cheering to know, that amidst the joys of Heaven, Jesus has not forgotten any one of His "little flock" for whom He suffered in the garden and on the cross!


[James Buchanan]


Romans 8:32 ... He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
