John Gossner's Treasury
I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. John 14:18. I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10. And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life. John 5:40.
The Lord loves His own as His children, and therefore He will not leave them alone in this world. Even though His visible presence is denied them, that they may learn to believe in the Invisible as if they saw Him, yet is He near them in the Spirit. For what purpose does He come to His own? "That they might have life, and have it more abundantly;" that they might abundantly and in rich measure have everything that they need for a pious conduct and conversation. Woe to them whom this complaint concerns, ’Ye will not come to me that ye might receive that life which I will give unto you; ye prefer death instead of life. " Dear soul, here stands your living Savior before you in His Word, and He offers to come into your heart and grant you life eternal. In you as well as round about you there is only death and darkness. Which of the two do you wish, and which do you select now?
Let the sweet hope that Thou art mine
My path of life attend;
Thy presence through my journey shine.
And crown my journey’s end.
