JESUS HASN’T MOVED

“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.”

Hebrews 13:8 KJV

A husband and wife were driving down the highway and the wife said to her husband “We don’t sit next to each other any more”.  The husband replied “I haven’t moved”.  If we feel separated from Jesus, He hasn’t moved.  We are the ones who have allowed ourselves to be moved by the attacks of satan.

All we have to do is cry out to Jesus and ask Him to hold us close.  Jesus understands how we feel when we are hurting and feel all alone.  I believe when Jesus was here on His mission that there were times when He wanted to say to someone “Hold Me and encourage Me”.  We have an understanding Saviour.

Jesus tells us in John 10:10 that He came that we might have life and that we might have it more abundantly.  He wants us have a happy and joyous life.  If we will stay in the presence of Jesus we will have joy in our heart but sometimes we allow satan to discourage us and then we take our eyes off Jesus.

We sing the beautiful hymn “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”.  Yet there are times when we sing this hymn that our eyes are on our circumstances instead of on Jesus.  Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus instead of on our circumstances.  I’m just as guilty of taking my eyes off Jesus as you are.  May God forgive us.

Precious Heavenly Father, we come to You praising You and thanking You for giving Your beloved Son to die on the cross for our sins so we may be saved.  Jesus, thank You for dying on the cross for our sins.  We love You, Heavenly Father.  We love You, Jesus.  We love You, Holy Spirit.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
