The Lord can rescue us, and He is the Lord who saves us till the end. John 13 tells us that Jesus loves those who belong to Him and love them till the end. This is so precious. We cannot find such enduring love in the world today. It's a love that never fails. Although Peter denied the Lord three times, and from a human perspective, it should have been unforgivable, the Lord still called Peter to turn back to Him. After Jesus was resurrected, He asked Peter three times, "Do you love me more than these?" Although Peter had stumbled and fell, the Lord gave him another chance and allowed Peter to stand before God again. During the Pentecost, Peter's preaching brought 3000 to come to the Lord and when he preached again a different time, 5000 were saved. Peter became a great vessel for the Lord. Paul persecuted the Christians early on in his life and went to Damascus to arrest more Christians. Yet Jesus did not give up on him, but laid hold of him on his way to Damascus. The Lord loves us to the end and will save us till the end. You may often feel weak in life, as if you cannot return to God. Do not lose heart, but fix your eyes on God. Remember that He loves you till the end and can save you till the end.

Second, the Lord lives forever and intercedes for us. Do you know that there is a great priest who sits on the throne of heaven and intercedes for us each day? The prayers of people are often weak and they stop when they are discouraged. However, the prayers of the Lord never cease. A sister once testified about how her husband showed little concern for her in the past. She prayed for him for many years, but did not see any results. One time, we told her that she needed to keep praying for her husband, but she said, "Forget it, what's the use of praying?" Nevertheless, God suddenly turned her husband around and after all these years of prayer, God's promised finally came to past. When she saw how her husband was changed, she was overjoyed. May the Lord help us to keep our hope in Christ Jesus, who is the one who will make our faith complete!
