Jesus Loves Us, (Part 2)

Jesus loves me what more can I say,
He is the only way,
if you ask me how I know
please read as Spurgeon writes again below


John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters in by Me, he shall be saved and shall go in and out and find pasture.

[A devotional by Charles Sourgeon]

[Jesus, the great I AM, is the entrance into the true church, and the way of access to God himself. He gives to the man who comes to God by him four choice privileges.

1. He shall be saved. The fugitive manslayer passed the gate of the city of refuge, and was safe. Noah entered the door of the ark, and was secure. None can be lost who take Jesus as the door of faith to their souls. Entrance through Jesus into peace is the guarantee of entrance by the same door into heaven. Jesus is the only door, an open door, a wide door, a safe door; and blessed is he who rests all his hope of admission to glory upon the crucified Redeemer.]

I am so blessed to be obedient to our Lord, for last year He brought me to a woman who was lost. She said to me, "I don't want to go to Hell!" You could see on her face that it was truly consuming her and all her other problems were petty compared to it. I asked her if she knew Jesus Christ as her personal Lord and Savior and her reply was, "I am not sure any more?" We said the sinners prayer together and today, because she believes with all her heart in that prayer, she is a different person. He can make a difference in your life too, if you let Him!

[2. He shall go in. He shall be privileged to go in among the divine family, sharing the children’s bread, and participating in all their honours and enjoyments. He shall go in to the chambers of communion, to the banquets of love, to the treasures of the covenant, to the storehouses of the promises. He shall go in unto the King of kings in the power of the Holy Spirit, and the secret of the Lord shall be with him.]

I will be entering in, will you be there with me? I pray so!

[3. He shall go out. This blessing is much forgotten. We go out into the world to labour and suffer, but what a mercy to go in the name and power of Jesus! We are called to bear witness to the truth, to cheer the disconsolate, to warn the careless, to win souls, and to glorify God; and as the angel said to Gideon, “Go in this thy might,” even thus the Lord would have us proceed as his messengers in his name and strength.]


This blessing is not forgotten by me. He is my life! I want to witness for Him, I want to bring God's love and cheer, I want to be a warning to the carless, I embrace reaching out to the lost souls, and all to bring glory to God the Father.

[4. He shall find pasture. He who knows Jesus shall never want. Going in and out shall be alike helpful to him: in fellowship with God he shall grow, and in watering others he shall be watered. Having made Jesus his all, he shall find all in Jesus. His soul shall be as a watered garden, and as a well of water whose waters fail not.]

Amen, amen, amen! Praise God my bags are packed!

Yes, Jesus love me,
yes, Jesus loves you,
yes, Jesus loves us,
Praise God this is true...

From God's heart, to mine, to yours,
Ed Shagott
