O sword, awake against My Shepherd, and against the Man who is My Associate, a statement of Jehovah of Hosts. Strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered. And I will turn My hand on the little ones.
While I was with them in the world, I was keeping them in Your name; I guarded the ones whom You have given to Me, and no one of them has been lost, if not the son of eternal destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.
Therefore when they broke fast, Jesus says to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me more than these? He says to Him, Yes, Lord, You know that I love You. He says to him, Feed My lambs!
The Lord of the promise is not slow, as some deem slowness, but is long-suffering toward us, not purposing any to perish, but all to turn one’s self to repentance.
