How comprehensive is the love of Jesus! There is no part of His
people's interests that He does not consider, and there is nothing that
concerns their welfare that is not important to Him. He doesn't merely
think of you, believer, as an immortal being, but as a mortal being too.
Do not deny it or doubt it:
"Even the hairs of your head are all
numbered." Matthew 10:30 "
The steps of a man are established by the LORD, when he
delights in his way." Psalm 37:23
It would be sad for us if this covering of love did not tackle all our
concerns, for what mischief might be done to us in that part of our
lives that did not come under our gracious Lord's protection! Believer,
rest assured that the heart of Jesus cares about your smallest concerns.
The breadth of His tender love is such that you may turn to Him in
every case; for in all your afflictions He is afflicted, and just like a
father cares for his children, so He cares for you. The smallest
interests of all His saints are all borne upon the heart of the Son of
God.
And what a heart He has, which does not merely understand the nature of
His people but also comprehends their diverse and innumerable concerns.
Do you think, Christian, that you can measure the love of Christ?
Consider what His love has brought you--justification, adoption,
sanctification, eternal life! The riches of His goodness are
unsearchable; you will never be able to convey them or even conceive
them.
Oh, the breadth of the love of Christ! Shall such a love as this have
only half our hearts? Shall it have a cold love in return? Shall Jesus'
marvelous loving-kindness and tender care be met with only faint
response and delayed acknowledgment? My soul, tune your harp to a glad
song of thanksgiving! Go to your rest rejoicing, for you are not a
desolate wanderer but a beloved child, watched over, cared for,
supplied, and defended by your Lord.
