Seven “I Wills” Of Christ. —

Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28²⁸Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28).

Him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. John 6:37³⁷All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. (John 6:37).

I will; be thou clean. Luke 5:13¹³And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. (Luke 5:13).

Him will I confess also before my Father. Matthew 10:32³²Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. (Matthew 10:32).

I will not leave you comfortless. John 14:18¹⁸I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (John 14:18).

I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:40⁴⁰And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day. (John 6:40).

Father, I will that they also whom Thou hast given me, be with me —where I am. John 17:24²⁴Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. (John 17:24).

Joseph—

Joseph is perhaps a nearer type of our Lord than any other in the Bible, the Scripture references which may be found out will give full proof of this. He was loved by his father, he was envied by his brethren, he was sold, he was killed in figure, he made himself known to his brethren, he was highly exalted, and had a bride beside him on the throne.

The Lord Jesus was loved by His Father, He was hated and envied by His, brethren, He was sold, He was killed, He made Himself known as the Savior of the world, He was highly exalted, His name is above every name and every knee will bow to Him, His Jewish brethren will be reconciled to Him, and His heavenly Bride sit beside Him on the throne.
