“For both he that sanctifieth and they who are sanctified are all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren,” Hebrews 2:11
My Lord Jesus Christ belongs to the same spiritual household in which, through His tender love and immeasurable grace, I am myself enrolled. He can speak of singing God’s praise in the midst of the congregation. The interests of the Church, redeemed by His blood, called after His Name — are inexpressibly dear to Him; of none of its members, the least inspiring, the most disappointing — is He oblivious. My welfare, because I am a citizen of the commonwealth in which He is Prince, can never be forgotten by Him.
My Lord Jesus Christ stood, when He was in my world, in the same position of dependence in which I stand. He was accustomed to say, “I will put my trust in Him.” He leaned on God, and God never forsook Him. Thus He encourages me to confide in the Lord my Righteousness and the Lord my Strength. He bids me follow Himself along the path of faith and the path of prayer. Once He was a poor man, and He cried out to God, and the answer came. Just so, if I cry, I shall have a response as seasonable and sufficient.
My Lord Jesus Christ is a partaker of the same nature with which I am endowed. “Behold, I and the children which God has given Me” — these are His words. So He is acquainted with my every necessity; He has experienced all the trials and changes of my mortal life; He can send me the very help I require. I make my appeal to no stranger, however benevolent and well-intentioned; in my hour of need, it is to my Elder Brother that I go.
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!” Philippians 4:13
