IT WAS among the Alpine heights. A dangerous crossing had been reached and many of the climbers were fearful.
Reaching out his hand the guide said to one, “That hand never lost a man.” The traveler passed in safety.
Christ is the Guide. He never fails one who trusts in Him. He is able to save unto the uttermost — that is all the way through. Not only can He save the vilest sinner who comes — He can do that for He has once died for us. But He is able to save right on to the very end the weakest believer, because He ever lives for us. His hand never lost a man or woman or child. His own word is.
MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE,
AND I KNOW THEM,
AND THEY FOLLOW ME: AND
I GIVE UNTO THEM ETERNAL LIFE;
AND THEY SHALL NEVER PERISH,
NEITHER SHALL ANY MAN
PLUCK THEM OUT OF MY HAND.”
