John 2:12. HE WENT DOWN. Not alone now – the miracle of Cana past His mother and family – those who follow fast Behind Him in steps now made purposeful by His Come to a city, because of His dwelling place – is blessed.
Not long did they stay – for reasons more than one Wonderful works He did there – particularly in Capernaum But in spite of such benefits as He alone could bestow They hesitated in an unrepentant state – though His grace they know.
Far too often I have found what seems to be a place of blessing If only those around could grasp the fact – Jesus was passing.
And He can satisfy the deep unspoken needs of those Who could have experienced the joys of faith – instead oppose.
Oh, may I in every way and opportunity seize Upon that brief time, some way to say what I believe – That whether saint or sinner – my fellow man May take hold of the passing, gracious Savior while they can.
And I – as I follow with His family and friends Must consistent be to pass along to them, my helping hands To use for goodness to meet needs and to testify The worthiness of the Lord Jesus upon who I – and they can fully rely.
“I have passed through many towns and cities these last few days Father, and I can see the location of our tent where we had meetings to preach the Gospel. Yet how many there are that have never responded. It seems sad to see that ground where once many feet passed in to hear the Gospel, is now grown over and no one remembers that Jesus of Nazareth has passed by. I lift them all to Thee now and intercede for their souls. If I am to go again, please make that plain to both Linda and me. Amen.”
