He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40:11
1. Here is boundless affection. Would He put them in His bosom if He did not love them so much?
2. Here is tender nearness so near are they, that they could not possibly be nearer.
3. Here is hallowed familiarity there are precious love-passages between Christ and His weak ones.
4. Here is perfect safety in His bosom, who can hurt them? They must hurt the Shepherd first.
5. Here is perfect rest and sweetest comfort. Surely we are not sufficiently sensible of the infinite tenderness of Jesus!
[Charles H. Spurgeon]
John 10:27-28 … My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.❤
