Set Us In The Way Of His Steps

“Truth shall spring out of the earth; and righteousness shall look down from heaven. Yea, the LORD shall give that which is good; and our land shall yield her increase. Righteousness shall go before him; and shall set us in the way of his steps.” | Psalm 85: 11-13

Several hundred years before the Savior came into the world, God’s prophet Isaiah saw a grand and glorious vision and cried, “Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, traveling in the greatness of his strength?”

“Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.” (Isaiah 63: 1)

And the Saviour answered, “I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save”.

“And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” (Matthew 1: 21)

While the Savior was yet in His mother’s womb, God sent an angel to Joseph with these words, “She shall bring forth a son” (and she did), “and thou shalt call his name JESUS” (and he did), “for he shall save his people from their sins”. (He most certainly shall!)

“As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.” (John 17: 2)

The Savior said, “Thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him”; and again says the Savior, “This is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day”.

“And this is the Father’s will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day.” (John 6: 39)

Most assuredly, the Lord Jesus “SHALL save his people from their sins.”

“He shall not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.” (Isaiah 42: 4)

“He shall not fail nor be discouraged”; but rather, “He shall see of the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied”.

“He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.” (Isaiah 53: 11)

In light of the above verses (which are supported by the whole of the Word of God) it should never enter the mind of anyone that the Savior — the Lord Jesus Christ – is TRYING to save sinners… HE IS NOT!

Those who say to sinners, “Jesus is trying to save you; won’t you let him save you?” are not ambassadors of Christ.

They represent another person, another spirit, another power – Satan!

The Lord Jesus, from His throne of universal dominion and almighty grace is seeking out His lost sheep, His people, snatching them out of the kingdom of darkness and planting their feet in the kingdom of heaven; and shall bring them safely into His eternal glory.

He is a conquering, victorious, successful, satisfied Savior!

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.”” (Matthew 11: 28)

However, let it be just as clearly understood that the Lord Jesus Christ, the only Savior, from His throne of almighty grace, stands with open arms and a heart filled with love and grace, ready to receive sinners who come to Him. “Come unto me” says He, “all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest”.

THE INFINITE CHRIST

“And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.” | Matthew 7: 28-29

There is infinite value in that precious blood which He shed upon the Cross to make an atonement for sin. There is infinite pity in His heart toward sinners.

There is infinite readiness and willingness on His part to receive all who come to Him. There is infinite power in His arm to deliver and keep that which is committed unto Him. There is no sinner so depraved that Christ’s blood cannot cleanse him. There is no sinner so bound by the fetters of Satan that Christ cannot free him. There is no sinner so weary and despondent that Christ cannot satisfy him.

The promise of the Saviour himself is, “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” (Matthew 11: 28) O sin-sick soul, put him to the test for yourself, and see. Come to Christ just as you are, in all your wretchedness and need, and He will gladly receive you, blot out all your iniquities, and put a new song in your mouth.

May God in His grace cause some despondent ones to prove for themselves the infinite sufficiency of His Son.
