Moved with Pity Jesus reached forth His hand and touched Him….
Though there is nothing to be seen in any here for we stand alone in the beauty of the love of Jesus. His pity upon the hopeless and hardened in heart was our only hope. The costliness of this love is seen not only worldwide but for all time. Abel beheld this truth as well as David. Isaiah declared His day in Isaiah 53! Paul and Peter also saw the tremendous cost and suffered the loss of all for it. In His weakness was strength on our behalf. Jesus performed what we never could, for we were all impotant
So we follow in the same footsteps, leaning upon Him. Also, in weakness yet being strong. Abiding in His beauty (grace) which was given at such a great cost. This, our joy, fulfilled completely in Jesus.
The accuser never stops. As Jesus was accused, so were David, Moses, Joshua, the Apostles and many, many more. So all that abide in the Vine will suffer the same. Blessed privilege, for we all know, seeing our failings, that His beauty covers all. Thus, a broken and contrite heart is all that is left.
Joined in His death alone and resurrection. Nothing to say of self, only to proclaim Jesus, our King and High Priest.
