In His Arms He Gently Bears Us
Series: Face to Face with JesusScripture: Mark 10:13-16
“Fatherlike he tends and spares us
Well our feeble frame he knows.
In his hands he gently bears us
Rescues us from all our foes.”
Henry Lyte, “Praise My Soul the King of Heaven”
“Salvation is membership in the family of God . . .The creation of a family with children is the reason for all of God’s activity. This is how he intends to show his glory . . . Our sonship to God is the apex of creation and the goal of redemption . . . The story of Paradise lost becoming Paradise regained is the story of God’s grace bringing us from alienation from him to membership in his family . . . Our self-image, if it is to be biblical, will begin just here. God is my Father (the Christian’s self-image always begins with the knowledge of God and who he is!); I am one of his children (I know my real identity); his people are my brothers and sisters (I recognize the family to which I belong and have discovered my deepest ‘roots’).”
Sinclair Ferguson
