Acts
16:1-10. John 15:18-21
Be of good cheer for I
have redeemed the world.
Through faithfulness and
suffering I offer My whole
human life from the beginning
even to the end as pattern
of perfection and of wholeness.
Through death I showed obedience
to the Father and He sustained
and vindicated Me and brought
Me through the shades of
death into the full glory
of His Eternal Presence.
And the power of My redemption
is offered to each child
of man who seeks it in truth
and love and in self-giving.
I am with each one from
the beginning even to the
end in their faithfulness
and commitment.
And all faithfully committed
in truth and in self-giving
will learn to know the fellowship
of suffering as they follow
in My steps, pray with Me
in Gethsemane and accompany
Me to Golgotha. So will
all opposition from the
world which they encounter,
as they seek to do the Father's
will, be caught up in the
cost and power and glory
of My Eternal Victory.
