Devotional: Oh, be persuaded to hide yourself in Christ Jesus!

Oh, be persuaded to hide yourself in Christ Jesus! What greater assurance of safety can you desire? He has undertaken to defend and save you, if you will come to Him. He looks upon it as His work. He engaged in it before the world was, and He has given His faithful promise which He will not break; and if you will but make your flight there, His life shall be for yours. He will answer for you, and you shall have nothing to do but rest quietly in Him. You may stand still and see what the Lord will do for you. If there is anything to suffer, the suffering is Christ's; you will have nothing to suffer. If there be anything to be done, the doing of it is Christ's; you will have nothing to do but to stand still and behold it. ...Jonathan Edwards image
