EN 43:9{EB 7:22 {Judah promised his father to bring Benjamin back safely from Egypt. He undertook this entirely. He said, "I will be surety for him; of my hand shalt thou require him: if I bring him not unto thee, and set him before thee, then let me bear the blame forever." And his father trusted Judah to do as he had said, and so Judah was surety for Benjamin. The Lord Jesus is Surety for us. He undertakes to bring us safely to the house of His Father and our Father. He undertakes to present us before the presence of His glory. We are in His hand, and from His hand God will require us and receive us. Now, if God has trusted Him, will not you trust Him too?' What! Hesitate about trusting Jesus? Whom else could you trust? Who else could undertake to bring you safe to Heaven? Benjamin might possibly have found his way by himself from Egypt to Canaan; but never, never could you find the way by yourself from earth to Heaven; and never could anyone but the Lord Jesus bring you there. Benjamin could not be quite certain that his brother could keep his promise, for Judah was only a man, and might have been killed in Egypt, but you may be quite certain that the Lord Jesus con keep His promise, for He is God as well as Man. And do you think He would break His promise? He, the Faithful Savior, break His promise? Heaven and earth shall pass away, but His word shall not pass away! Then trust Him now, and never wrong His faithful love by leaving off trusting Him.
But on a higher, holier mount that Voice is pleading still;
For while one weary child of His yet wanders here below,
While yet one thirsting soul desires His peace and love to know,
And while one fainting spirit seeks His holiness to share,
The Savior's loving heart shall pour a tide of mighty prayer;
Yes! till each ransomed one hath gained his home of joy and peace,
That fount of blessings all untold shall never, never cease.
