Jesus, Our Strong Advocate ㅡ

 “And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:

 But I have prayed for you, that your faith fail not: and when you are converted, strengthen your brothers.”

 (Luke 22:31~32)

Thank God we are not left alone.

This is our safety.

Satan can never touch with eternal disaster one whom Christ has prepared for temptation by His previous intercession, for grace is provided in Christ for every soul, and a way of escape has been made, so that no one need fall under the power of the enemy.

Satan is preparing many and strong temptations with which to assail the people of God.

We are not safe without Christ for a single step.

But what comfort is treasured for us in the words, “I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not!” 

Satan does not sift chaff; it is the wheat that he desires to have in his hands.

Then let us take courage and pray at all times.

Christ offers our prayers to the Father, mingled with the merit of His sacrifice, and they come up before God as sweet incense.

 (That I May Know Him 286)
