wonder: Is God re a l, o r is
He some vague thing like
blind
power? Does
God
re a lly care about
people
on ea rth , o r has He created
this and other habited planets
and le ft them to d r if t and get
along w ithout H is attention?
Has He sim p ly set things going
on autom atic pilot?
Jesus said, "H e that sent
me is w ith me, the
F athe r
hath not le ft me long, fo r I
do always those things that
please H im .” John 8:29.
God is m ore in tim a te than
in tim acy its e lf. He has made
our m ost secret p a rts . "H e
is
nearer than breathing,
c lo s e r than hands and fe e t."
Again Jesus said, " I speak
that which 1 have seen with my
F a th e r.” John 6:38.
"B e
lieve me that I am in
the
F a th e r,
and the F athe r in
me ” John 14:11. " . . „ N o w
there was leaning on Jesus’
bosom one of H is d isciples
whom Jesus loved.
"S im on
P e te r therefore
beckoned him , that he should
ask who it should he of whom
He spoke.” (Who would betray
H im ), "H e then lying o n je -
sus’ breast saith unto H im ,
L o rd , who is it ? " "J e s u s a n
swered, He it is, to whom 1
shall give a sop, when I have
dipped it , * ’ John 13:22-26.......
"N ow he that betrayed Hun
gave them a sign, saying,
whom soever I shall kiss, that
same Is He: Hold him fast.
"A n d fo rth w ith He came to
Jesus, and said, H a il M aster;
and kissed H im ." M a n . 26:
48-50.
. . . Seest thou th is woman?
I enteied into thine house, thou
gavest me no w a te r fo r my
feet: lu t she hath washed my
feet w ith tea rs, and wiped
them w ith the h a irs of her
head. Thou gavest me no kiss:
hut th is woman since the tim e
I came in hath not ceased to
kiss my fe e t......W herefore I
say unto thee, her sins, which
are many, are fo-given; fo r
she loved much: hut to whom
litt le is forgiven, the same
loveth H a le .” Luke 7:36-48.
Jesus gave a parable illu s

When Jesus contemplated
the coming pligh t of Jeru sa
lem , He c r i e d
out: "O
Jeru salem , Jerusalem , thou
that k ille s t the prophets, and
stonest them which are sent
unto thee, how often would I
have gathered thy children
toget’e r ,
even as a hen
gathereth her chickens under
her wings, and ye would not.”
M a n . 23:37-38.
Isaiah, s p e a k in g of the
com ing of the Messiah said
of Him : "H e shall feed his
flock like a shepherd: He shall
gather t!« Iambs with
his
a rm , and c a rry them in His
bosom, and shall gently lead
those that a re w ith young."
Isa . 40:11 “ When my fathe r
and m other forsake me, then
the L o rd w ill take me u p ." Ps.
27:10. "T h e re is a frien d that
sticketh clo se r than a bro

H is only begonen Son that
