OCTOBER 16
THE
STRONG STAFF
"Jesus Christ the same yesterday, today, and forever!"
The aged pilgrim, in going down the steep of time,
often feels that he needs a strong staff on which to lean.
Something that will,
support his weight,
rest his weary limbs,
help him along the road, and
never give way under him.
Take it, my aged friend, look at it, lean on it, try it!
Jesus, your Savior, the Messiah, anointed to save you,
is ever the same!
as he was when you first went to him,
full of guilt, full of fears, and
expecting he would reject your prayer.
You remember how he pitied you,
how graciously he smiled upon you,
how freely he pardoned you, and
how he pledged himself to you by his Word.
as much as he did when he died for you,
or when he first called you by his grace!
There have been many changes in you,
but there has been no change in him!
Having loved his own who were in the world,
he loves them unto the very end.
His eye is upon you at this moment, and
his heart glows with infinite love to you!
by keeping you here on earth a little longer;
it may be in weakness, in pain,
or even in privation;
but as soon as that purpose is accomplished,
he will send for you, and
receive you unto himself;
that where he is, there you may be also!
the changes experienced within you,
or witnessed around you,
"Jesus Christ is the same, yesterday, today, and forever!"
"I am the LORD, I change not;
therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed. Malachi 3:6
