THE activities of the Lord Jesus, as He is occupied in His present service, is a fruitful subject. Fruitful in more ways than one. It is fruitful because it reminds us of His love in His present ministry for us; and of our love to Him, which should be expressed in a similar way to His love to us.

  1. His heart is occupied in His loving sympathy for us, as our Faithful Friend. “He groaned in spirit and was troubled  . . . .  behold how He loved him” (John 11:33, 36).
  2. His mind is occupied in His constant thought of us, as our Divine Lover. “He thinketh upon me” (Psalm 40:17).
  3. His eyes are occupied in His watchful care over us, as our Vigilant Shepherd. “Behold He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep” (Psalm 121:4).
  4. His hands are occupied in His untiring labour for us, as our Unfailing Strength. “I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness” (Isaiah 41:10).
  5. His ears are occupied in His unceasing attention to us, as our Gracious Lord. “His ears are open unto their cry” (Ps. 34:15).
  6. His lips are occupied in His earnest pleading for us, as our Great High Priest. “He ever liveth to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25).
  7. His feet are occupied in His ministry for us, as our Sustaining Companion (Luke 24:15).
