July 4, Morning
Leaning on Jesus' bosom.
[John.13:23]
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you. ■ They brought young children to him, that he should touch them. And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. ■ Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said, I have compassion on the multitude, because they continue with me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I will not send them away fasting, lest they faint in the way. ■ A high Priest ... touched with with the feeling of our infirmities. ■ In his love and in his pity he redeemed them.
[Isa.66:13 | Mark.10:13,16 | Matt.15:32 | Heb.4:15 | Isa.63:9]
I will not leave you comfortless: [marg. orphans] I will come to you. ■ Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee.
[John.14:18 | Isa.49:15]
The Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
[Rev.7:17]
