Jesus in Full Agreement With Heaven's Perseverance

Luke 9:62  And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.

Nor is it hard to see where He learned this, living in Perfect Fellowship with heaven. 

For few things are more wonderful in God than the divine way He has of holding to it. 

The ruby "takes a million years to harden." 

The brook carves its channels through millenniums. 

There goes an infinite deal of Quiet Holding To It for the Ripening of Every Harvest. 

And if we owe so much, in the beautiful world of nature, to what I would call the doggedness of heaven, how much more in the fairer world of Grace. 

We Are Saved By A Love That Will Not Let Us Go. 

Nothing less is equal to our need. 

We often think that God has quite forgotten us, and then we discover how He is Holding To It. 

Through all our coldness and backslidings, through our fallings into the miry clay, He has never left us or forsaken us. 

When we awake we are still with Him, and, what is better, He is still with us; just as ready to pardon and restore us as in the initial hour of conversion.

No wonder that our Lord, in perfect fellowship with such a Father, laid His divine emphasis just there.
