69. CHRIST OCCUPIED FOR US

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" (Jhn 11:33, 36).

2. His mind is occupied in His constant thought of us, as our Divine Lover. "He thinketh upon me" (Psa 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" (Psa 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" (Isa 41:10).

5. His ears are occupied in His unceasing attention to us, as our Gracious Lord. "His ears are open unto their cry" (Psa 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" (Hbr 7:25).

7. His feet are occupied in His ministry for us, as our Sustaining Companion (Luk 24:15).
