Jesus, Refuge of the Weary

During Jesus’ earthly ministry, countless people saw Him. But not everyone came to see Him by faith for who He truly is: the blessed One who comes and saves them in the Name of the Lord. People today often “see” Jesus from a safe distance, but they refuse to see Him for the Savior He truly is – they reject the work He has done to make the world right with God. Today we seek to be different than the majority around us. We long to see Jesus up close and personal, receiving Him in faith, acknowledging with heart and voice the redeeming work of His death and resurrection. Believing in Him by grace, we look forward to the day when we shall see Him face–to–face in the glories of heaven, singing forever with all of God’s gathered children: “Blessed is He who comes in the Name of the Lord!”
