The main purpose of these verses is to give a clear view, to demonstrate, to put the love of God beyond question. If He loved us THEN he’ll love us NOW.

Jesus said - I will never cast out - Emphatic/very clear/wholehearted “I will most certainly never, ever cast out” I will most certainly never let go, reject, cast off.

We have a friend who is able to give us what we need. His GENTLENESS/CALMNESS/SOOTHING - Reduces the pain and the discomfort. Refreshes/relieves us whether we are IGNORANT or WAYWARD.

Because Jesus was tempted in every way he has a heart that is able to sympathise.

Jesus' joy in serving us and rescuing us

It is impossible for the affectionate heart of christ to be exaggerated or over celebrated.

There’s only ONE place in the four gospels where Jesus tells us about his own heart. Where he pulls back the veil and lets us see into the core of who he is.

Clarity on where to serve often starts with answering the question what needs do I see and how can I meet them?

Through Christ we are totally different people. The Old has Gone, we are now living a new life. We have been raised with him, we are now brand new people. We are glorious and our brand new nature needs to be in the driving seat.

There isn’t a place where Jesus isn’t authorised/allowed to act and rule. No limitation, no restriction.  The courage and confidence is the rock solid foundation of the words ALL authority.
