~ The Christian’s Positions of
Privilege in Relation to Jesus Christ ~
In His Hand (place
of security) ~ Jesus said, “And I
give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; neither shall anyone snatch them out of My hand. My Father, who has given them to Me, is
greater than all; and no one is able to
snatch them out of My Father’s hand.
I and My Father are one” (John 10:28-30).
On His Shoulder (place
of strength) ~ Jesus said, “What
man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he loses one of them, does not leave the
ninety-nine in the wilderness, and go after the one which is lost until he
finds it? And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he comes home, he calls together his
friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my
sheep which was lost!’ I say to you that
likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over
ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance” (Luke 15:4-7).
In His Bosom (place
of learning) ~ “Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of His
disciples, whom Jesus loved. Simon Peter
therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke. Then, leaning
back on Jesus’ breast, he said
to Him, ‘Lord, who is it?’” (John 13:23-25).
At His Feet (place
of communion) ~ “Now it happened as
they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha
welcomed Him into her house. And she had
a sister called Mary, who also sat at
Jesus’ feet and heard His word”
(Luke 10:38-39).
