A Golden Chain

From: Messages of God's Love: 1938

For all those who are Christ’s

I will give you a golden chain of seven links, telling how completely Christ is for you, and how freely He is occupied on your account.

No shepherd ever watched his flock, no mother ever cared over her child, no watchman ever guarded his charge, as the Lord Jesus does you. Hear what He says,

His Arms are underneath you (Deut. 33:27²⁷The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. (Deuteronomy 33:27))

His Eyes’s are over you (1 Peter 3:12¹²For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. (1 Peter 3:12)).

He goes before you (John 10:4⁴And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. (John 10:4)). He follows behind you (Isa. 52:12¹²For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the Lord will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rereward. (Isaiah 52:12)).

He encampeth round about you (Psa.34:7).

He lives in you (Gal. 2:20²⁰I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. (Galatians 2:20)).

He is coming for you (John 14:3³And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. (John 14:3)).
