OUR COMPANION=WE ARE NOT ALONE!

OUR COMPANION=WE ARE NOT ALONE!


Jesus had to DO IT
All alone=he had to
TAKE the CROSS


He had to FACE the PAIN=
The HUMILIATION=and the suffering
Of body and SPIRIT


He had to
ENDURE IT ALL


“I gave my back
To those who beat me


My cheeks to those
Who PLUCKED my beard” Isaiah 50:6


Because he was FULLY HUMAN
He did not
Escape the STRUGGLE


He FACED the suffering and
During his agony in the GARDEN
He actually sweats blood
And is OVERCOME by sorrow


“Since the children
Have flesh and blood


He too SHARED
In their HUMANITY=
So that by his death
He might BREAK the
POWER of him


Who HOLDS the power of death--------
That is-the DEVIL----------


And FREE those
Who ALL their lives
Were held in SLAVERY
By their FEAR OF DEATH” Hebrews 2:14-15


We too=are FULLY HUMAN=
But we have our COMPANION
In Jesus


Who doesn't desert us
Who does NOT ABANDON US=
So we are NEVER alone
In our suffering


Jesus=our FRIEND=our constant
COMPANION=is always with us
He never lets us alone


“But it is you=
A MAN like myself


My COMPANION
My CLOSE FRIEND” Psalm 55:13


“I=John=your brother and COMPANION
In the suffering
And kingdom and PATIENT ENDURANCE


That are OURS in Jesus
Was on the island of Patmos
Because of


The WORD of God
And the TESTIMONY of Jesus” Revelation 1:9


But our poor Jesus
Was ALONE=Jesus goes to
His disciples with HUMILITY


And ASKS them to keep
WATCH=with him


In his GREAT hour of NEED
He is asking for SUPPORT
But they all=WE ALL=
LET HIM DOWN


But we NEVER walk alone
Our God=our Jesus
ALWAYS WALK with us


“BLESSED are those
Who have learned
To ACCLAIM you


Who WALK
In the light
Of your PRESENCE=LORD” Psalm 89:15


“When you WALK=
They will GUIDE YOU


When you sleep
They will watch over you


When you wake
They will speak to you” Proverbs 6:22


Thank God=that when we SUFFER=
We have JESUS=for our COMPANION


That we are NOT ALONE=
We have SOMEONE=who has
Been there BEFORE US


In Jesus' name and in the NAME of God=
OUR ALMIGHTY and heavenly Father
