The activities of Christ on behalf of His people: He gave Himself for their sins (Gal. 1:4).
He quickens them by His voice (John 5:25).
He seals them with His Spirit (Eph. 1:13).
He feeds them with His flesh and blood (John 6:56-57).
He cleanses them by His Word (John 13:5; Eph. 5:26).
He maintains them by His intercession (Rom. 8:34).
He takes them individually to Himself (Acts 7:59; Phil. 1:23).
He will raise them by His power (John 6:39-40; 1 Cor. 15:52; 1 Thess. 4:16).
He will come to meet them in the air (1 Thess. 4:17).
He will conform them to His image (Phil. 3:21; 1 John 3:2).
He will associate them with Himself in His everlasting kingdom (John 14:3).
The activities of Christ on behalf of His people take in the past, the present and the future. They stretch like a golden line from everlasting to everlasting. Well may it be said, “Happy is that people, that is in such a case: yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord” (Psa. 144:15).
