Mrs. M., who was lying on her bed, suffering great pain, made a touching and striking remark to me:
“Long ago I gave my body and soul to the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my Rock and my Saviour, and I am well cemented on that Rock!” This was said with deep feeling, it plainly showed me that she knew how secure she was and is in Him.
“On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.”
It seems to me that this dear woman, in her simple way, gave utterance to a sublime truth; she knows that the sheep of Christ shall “never perish, neither shall any pluck them out” of His hand; that the believer is as truly connected with Him as the members of the body with the head, and it is her joy to rest in assurance that, by God’s grace, she is so “well cemented” on the Rock that no storm can ever move her from that place of safety.
