His Hand is stretched out still

His Hand is stretched out still

He who fed thousands with only a few loaves and fishes

will certainly not run out of desire or ability to help us.

“And it came to pass that the Lord spake unto Enoch,

and told Enoch all the doings of the children of men….. Moses7:41

If we take this particular verse and put it into Gethsemane’s context, the insight is profound.

“And it came to pass that the Father spake unto the Son, and told the Son all the doings of the children of men, wherefore Jesus knew, and looked upon their wickedness, and their misery, and wept and stretched forth his arms, and his heart swelled wide as eternity, and his bowels yearned, and all eternity shook.”

It overflowed! All eternity is not big enough to hold the compassion and the mercy of the Savoir.

It flows over the edges of the infinite.
