The Character of God

July 26

No case too far gone

Ellen G. White

"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them." — Hebrews 7:25 · KJV

While Christ was on earth, He showed by His miracles that He had power to save unto the uttermost. By curing the diseases of the body, He showed that He was able to take away sin from the heart.

He caused the lame to walk, the deaf to hear, and the blind to see. He cleansed the poor lepers, and healed the man with palsy, and those who had all kinds of diseases.

By His word, even the devils were driven out from the ones whom they had been possessing. Those who saw this wonderful work were astonished, and said: “What a word is this! For with authority and power He commandeth the unclean spirits, and they come out!” Luke 4:36.

At the command of Jesus, Peter was able to walk on the water. But he had to keep his eyes on the Saviour. As soon as he looked away, he began to doubt and sink.

Then he cried, “Lord, save me,” and the Saviour's hand was stretched forth to lift him up. Matthew 14:28-31. So whenever one cries to Him for help, the hand of Christ is stretched forth to save.

The Saviour raised the dead to life. One of these was the widow's son at Nain. The people were carrying him to the grave, when they met Jesus. He took the young man by the hand, lifted him up, and gave him alive to his mother. Then the company went back to their homes with shouts of rejoicing and praise to God.

So also the daughter of Jairus was raised, and by Christ's word, Lazarus, who had been dead four days, was called forth from the tomb.

So when Christ shall come to earth again, His voice will pierce the tombs, and “the dead in Christ shall rise” to glorious, immortal life; and so shall they “ever be with the Lord.” Thessalonians 4:16, 17.
