He came to bring the Mourners Joy

1Corinthians 3:11

For other Foundation can no Man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

I know of no other Foundation than that of Faith in Christ; I know of no other Covenant, of any other Way or Counsel, other than that a poor naked Wretch should lay oneself in the Bosom of the Father.

I have come ever closer to my Saviour, I have been received by Him and with Him find true Rest. He is my Treasure and my Portion, and I know of no other Salvation but Him.

I am found in Christ, if I am Righteous and Pure; I will always be secure if I remain united with Him. If God sees me in Christ, who is there then that can condemn me?

O Jesus, let me remain with You! O Jesus, remain in me! Let the good Spirit lead me, that I may follow You in Faith. If I always remain Faithful and Vigilant, nothing can destroy my Foundation! Amen.

John 10:16

And other Sheep I have, which are not of this Fold: them also I must bring and they shall hear my Voice; and there shall be one Fold, and one Shepherd.

One Flock and one Shepherd! How will it be for you, O Earth, when that day comes. Rejoice little Flock: rise up and shine! Jesus is doing that which He promised.

Shepherd, how far off is this Day? already the Pasture is greening and the Glory of the Lord is approaching in the Twilight among the Nations. Blind Pilgrims, plead for Light! Jesus keeps His Promises.

Come, O come, faithful Shepherd, turn the Night into Day! But alas! how many Sheep wander away from You and your Flock! Little Flock. do not fear: Jesus keeps His Promises! Amen.

Galatians 3:13

Christ hath redeemed us from the Curse of the Law, being made a Curse for us; for it is written, cursed is every One that hangeth on a Tree:

Rest awhile, my Spirit, and behold this great Wonder. See your God and honoured King hanging on a Cross, Naked and Forsaken. His Love for you has put Him there, to open the Way to His Father’s Bosom.

You know that Jesus loves you with all His Heart, it shines on you here on the Cross. See how all the Pain of Hell burns His Soul. Curses and Terror surround Him, and His Lamentations are faint.

These are the Fruits of my Sin, which torment my Saviour, the wrathful Judgments which condemn me to Hell. The Distress and Misery I caused has put You on the Cross. The Distress and Misery that was mine to bear, You took upon yourself.

You have satisfied God’s eternal Righteousness; for my Sake You conquered Sin, Death and the power of Hell. Through your Death You opened the Way to Life for me and fulfilled your Father’s Will.

Alas, I am a sinful Child of the World! Jesus, are You dying for my Sake? Shall the Enemy be redeemed with your Blood? I must bow down humbled and silent before this undeserved Blessing and Goodness. Amen.

1 John 2:1

My little Children, these Things I write unto you, that ye sin not. And if any Man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous.

Young People, the Hope of the Future! listen and let yourselves feel the Love! Flee Nonsense, follow the beckoning Hand that will lead you to Jesus!

Offer of the freshness and beautiful living Blossom of Youth, offer it with the Strength of a joyful Heart to Jesus, the Friend that wishes you well, to your King full of Goodness.

Lovingly the Shepherd seeks His Lambs on Earth; Youth, you shall be an Ornament of joy and honour to Him! Come then, to receive His Blessing; become the Ornament of His Flocks!

To partake with Jesus is to be considered a great Joy; to contemplate eternal love like a blissful Child, that is enough; but the deceits of sinful Pleasures cause the Soul to languish.

Earthly Glory cannot be compared with the Glory of being an Instrument of Honour to God and Saviour. Youth! stand next to Him, walk with Him; do not let your Time go to Waste.

Among Men, no One can find more blessed Grace than he who, from his Youth onward, flees the Curses of sinful Desires and seeks in the Saviour Joys that never vanish.

Blossoming Youth! O remember the bitter Suffering of your merciful One! If you avoid Sin and worldly Pleasures, your Path will joyfully ascend to Heaven, where Mercy and Joy is Eternal! Amen.

Isaiah 53:11

He shall see the Travail of his Soul, and shall be satisfied: by His Knowledge shall my righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their Iniquities.

You, who on the Night of Death, fought for Salvation of the World and revealed yourself as the righteous Fortress: You, who conquered the Enemy and opened Heaven: to You we sing Praises and Hallelujah!

All Power in Heaven is now yours, until all the Multitude is at your Feet; until those in the South and North, those in the East and West have become your Guests at your Wedding Feast.

So gather your Flocks from among the Multitude, that many may be saved and join in the Lord’s Supper! Open the high Gates, your People are streaming in! Is it not yet Day? Kindle your Fire! Amen.

Romans 6:23

For the Wages of Sin is Death; but the Gift of God is eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

From this mortal Mind, which is full of afflicting Desires, my weak Body shall in Time be separated. When the Days of my Life are fulfilled, let not my Life be a failure. O no! the One who chose me has a better House prepared for me.

The vile Nest of Sin, the Prison breaks apart; and so the Soul overcomes and is freed. The sharp Sword of Sin is blunted, the Vail that surrounds me disappears. What is Mortal and corruptible falls away, and the noble Spirit regains Life.

A new Building not made by human Hands but built by God will shelter me, neither Grief nor Fear will disturb my Rest; no crying Voices and Tears will be there. Only Peace, where God alone is all in all, and where the chosen Christian will see God with His own eyes.

We know this through God’s Spirit, He seals it with His Word, His judgment overcomes and brings much Comfort. The Faith of the Spirit testifies to the truth of the Spirit. When the Heart dreads the crooked Path of Death, the Spirit looks beyond into blissful Canaan.

Our Heart burns with ardent longing, as it rises Heavenward to reach the Shelter filled with God’s Purity. It quiets all and we sigh in Comfort in Christ’s Bosom. The Spirit speaks, Come, O come to my Light! Flee like a Deer and do not delay, achieve your Mercy.

Longing fills our whole Being and we know no Peace. Day and Night it drives us and makes us weary of the World. What it calls Majesty, Splendor and Pleasure is foul to us. O, speaks the Spirit, of what use is Silk to a Fish that is out of Water; I too am discontented until I can depart from here.

How glad my Heart and Mind are, how glad my Spirit, that I am already entered in through the Goodness of God, elected by my gracious King among the number of redeemed Souls who come to the Lamb, whom God has chosen out of the evil World and taken into His own Tent as His Children.

Alas! even if I am properly dressed and adorned, my doings are still sinful. What You see in me is Lust, Vanity, and Corruption. What I inherited through Adam makes my Life shameful. O Lord Jesus! cover my nakedness, steer my Ship to safe Harbour and let it not be stranded.

O! clothe me with your Spirit, let your Salvation be my Covering; always stay with me so that Nothing can make me afraid, even when I pass through the Valley of Death. With Jesus I will stand before God, your Wounds and your Staff comfort me when I die. Through You I have found Life. Amen.

Revelation 22:17

And the Spirit and the Bride say, Come. And let him that heareth, say come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of Life freely.

The Fountain of Grace where every One can drink still flows. O my Spirit, do not let God beckon to you in vain. The Word, that lights the Way for your Feet, teaches you that Christ alone can save you from Sin.

Your own Deeds do not prepare you for a better Life. Focus on Christ, and He will give you a better Life. His precious Blood has appeased Wrath and smoothed the Way to God, the Most High.

You cannot put away your Sins by yourself. Your Faith must rest entirely on God’s help. Satan can twist our reasoning in any Direction he chooses. Without help from God’s Spirit, we will be lost.

O Lord, I am thirsty for the Fount of your Grace. Like a graceful Deer, hunted and caught in a Snare, how can I escape this Distress except through the Balm of your Grace. Help me with your Spirit, for I have no Strength on my own.

You have promised you will free those who thirst for Righteousness from their Sins; now your Son, the true Christ will show me the Way. You must be my Helper, for your Help is complete.

O Blessed One! give me of this Water, that refreshes my Spirit for a Life of Righteousness. Let me always drink from this Fountain of Goodness! Let me be Serene and at Peace for Ever! Amen.

Joshua 1:9

Have I not commanded thee? Be strong and of good Courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

SOUL: I cry from my Soul, how long until I cross over, over the Sea of the red Cross, how long must I be tormented? where is the Path? where is the Crossing through the Flood? Alas, where is my Help? My God and Lord! If only I could cross over.

JESUS: I am with you and will help you, I have heard your Supplication. You can believe in me and I will stand by you. Have you forgotten then how I brought you out of Egypt? For Ever and Ever I am with you and will help you.

SOUL: If I could only cross over, I am still in Egypt. I had thought my Wish was granted and all would be Joy. O, but now my Needs are great and Death surrounds me. O how heavy my Heart is. My God and Lord, help me cross to over.

JESUS: I am with you and will guide you through the Waves of the Deep. Do not hesitate to hold on to me for we are wayfaring Companions. So face the deepest Flood with good Courage and you will pass through safely. Trust in me I am with you and will Ever guide you right.

SOUL: Alas, if I could only cross over! and leave behind the Desert Lands beyond the Red Sea of Crosses. There is no Water, Meat or Bread; who is there to feed me every Morning? My God and Lord! if I could only cross over.

JESUS: I am with you in the Desert, nothing can harm you: every morning my Love and Grace is renewed. Water flows from the Rocks, the Wind brings Meat and Bread rains down from Heaven. I go with you and stand by you in the Desert.

SOUL: Alas, if I could only cross over! I suffer Hunger and flee to avoid Amalek’s cruel Army! The Righteous fight and quarrel with Satan at their Side, and the Spirit is blessed by the Flesh. My God and Lord! if only this would pass from me.

JESUS: I am your true Joshua, who was against Amalek. I stand by your Side; I am the One who always conquers. When Flesh, World and Devil come after you I will help you and not let go. Have Courage, I am near. I, Jehovah, am the true Joshua.

SOUL: Alas, if I could only pass over! Sinai terrifies me, when Lightning, Vapour and Fire cover it, when the Voice of Thunder falls at the teaching of the Law. Cursed are those who do not keep your Commandments. My God and Lord! if I could only have crossed over.

JESUS: I am the end of the Law; whoever believes in me will be free from the Threat written in the Law by Moses. Whoever covers himself with my Spirit has already fulfilled all that I am. I am quick to help him so that he can keep all that he has gained. I am the end of the Law.

Soul: O! if only I could soon cross over. Wherever I turn I see Mountains and great Heights. There is no Path to travel on. I am always circling back and am afraid that I may be deceived. My God and Lord! if only I could soon cross over.

JESUS: I am the Way, the Light and The Gate, through me you can enter in. I will take you to the Place where you shall see my Salvation. The Mountains will be brought low; because I the Most High, am with you, you will have safe Passage. I will help you onward; I am the Way, the Light and the Gate.

SOUL: O, if only I could soon pass over! Here there is only Complaints that it is too Difficult to get there. Most turn back, they are afraid of being consumed by that Land. O, my God and Lord! If only I could soon pass over.

JESUS: Through me, through my Jesus-Strength, through the Blessing of my Spirit, , which I bestow on you as a Knighthood, everything is possible for you. It will not be Difficult for you, if you do not listen to idle Chatter. Let them not keep you Away; for through me, through my Jesus-Strength everything will be Accomplished.

SOUL: O, if only I could soon cross over! Here in this barren Desert, carnal Desires still plague me. I see Snakes, Fire, Hell, Disgust, Murmuring and Peor’s monstrosity, and many other Horrors. My God and Lord! if only I could soon cross over.!

JESUS: Lay yourself on my Jesus-Breast, touch my Wounds, my Blood washes every carnal Lust away. Those who find me are freed from every Horror. I will defend and protect you. Keep this in Mind: even if you must die lay yourself on my Jesus-Breast.

SOUL: Alas, if only I could soon cross over! I have found Jordan; when Death comes, I will be ready. I will praise and give Thanks for my safe Passage here. I will give eternal Honour to the Most High. My God and Lord! I am ready to pass over.

JESUS: My Death is the Death of your Death, my Life is your Life; how can Death cause Distress when I give you Life? therefore be not Afraid, for to pass over is but a Moment. My red Wounds will heal your Misery. My Death is the Death of your Death.

SOUL: Alas, if only I had already gone! Alas, Jesus, I am Weak, help me that I may join the Choir of Angels soon. Your Name is Holy and Exalted, you have helped me this far, make my end a Blessing. My God and Lord! Alas, if only I had already gone!

JESUS: I have heard your Request, I will help you pass over. I will place the Crown of Life on your Head and lead you in to the blissful Choir of Angels and you will dwell with God for Ever. I am your Shield and Reward. I, the Son of God, will help you pass over.

SOUL: Praise, Honour and Hallelujah I sing to You, O God! what I wished for, I have received. Praise God! I have succeeded! Victory is mine, I see Land, You led me with a mighty Hand, I am and will remain eternally close to You, Jehovah! Praise and Honour be! Hallelujah! Amen!

Revelations 2:7

He that hath an Ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the Tree of Life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.

He who overcomes shall eat of the Tree that grows in God’s Paradise; if he serves the Lord faithfully, he will know neither Death nor Misery. He will be rewarded with Heaven’s Bounty and shall have eternal Comfort.

He who overcomes shall not be harmed by the second Death, which torments the Soul. He will see my Face on the Throne where the Chosen sing Praises to me. After faithful striving and offered Sacrifices to His Holiness, He shall sing to me.

He who overcomes, shall eat of the Manna from Heaven. His good Testimony will never be forgotten. The Lamb’s Blood will exalt him and a new Name shall be given to him.

He who overcomes, shall be robed in White and his Name written in the Book of Life where nothing can blot out or separate him. For I will confess, he is mine before the Throne of the Father with whom I dwell and gives him the Crown of Life.

He who overcomes, shall be glorified in Heaven, just as I overcame the World when I hung on the Cross. Now I sit on my Throne at my Father’s right Hand. He who is Righteous shall have Rest and I will comfort him with Heaven’s Gifts. Amen.

1 Thessalonians 4:11

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own Business, and to work with your own Hands, as we command you;

Let us bear the Cross patiently that the Lord sends us! if we go to Him in Prayer He will not withhold Comfort. Therefore come what may, I will keep my Faith in the Lord.

Even if my Heart is weak and it is ready to fail, when my Suffering is at it’s greatest and I see no Joy in my Day; I will say: I keep my Faith in the Lord.

Lord my God! Always with Hope, I pray for Faith. God’s Hand of Grace is open and I will know no sorrow. Therefore come what may, I will keep my Faith in the Lord!
