Let us remember

Let us remember this picture

"Jesus, tired as He was from the journey, sat down by the well." John 4:6

Do we get all the blessings we might get, from the truth of our Lord's actual human experiences?

When we have been working hard all day and are weary and faint, let us remember this picture — Jesus, footsore and dust-covered, sinking down in sheer exhaustion on the stone curb of Jacob's well.

He has not forgotten even now in His glory, how He felt that day; and as He sees us in our weariness — His heart feels tenderly for us. He looks down upon us in compassion, and sends us a blessing of strength and cheer.

Let all Christians whose work is hard, and who ofttimes are very tired, frame this picture in their memory, and keep it always hanging up on the wall of their heart.

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tested in every way as we are" Hebrews 4:15

"He Himself knows our frame; He is mindful that we are but dust." Psalm 103:14
