22 - All the way my Saviour led me

What have I to ask beside?Can I doubt His tender mercy,Who through life has been my Guide?Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,Here by faith in Him to dwell!For I know, whate’er befall me,Jesus doeth all things well;For I know, whate’er befall me,Jesus doeth all things well.

Page 18: 25/1/2015 WORSHIP TODAY Welcome The Wonders of God’s Names The Father

All the way my Savior leads me,Cheers each winding path I tread,Gives me grace for every trial,Feeds me with the living Bread.Though my weary steps may falterAnd my soul athirst may be,Gushing from the Rock before me,Lo! A spring of joy I see;Gushing from the Rock before me,Lo! A spring of joy I see.

Page 19: 25/1/2015 WORSHIP TODAY Welcome The Wonders of God’s Names The Father

All the way my Saviour led me

Oh, the fullness of His love!Perfect rest to me is promisedIn my Father’s house above.When my spirit, clothed immortal,Wings its flight to realms of dayThis my song through endless ages:Jesus led me all the way;This my song through endless ages:Jesus led me all the way.

The Father

Who Pities

The Wonders of God’s Names

Page 22: 25/1/2015 WORSHIP TODAY Welcome The Wonders of God’s Names The Father

God- the Father who carries his children, in whom we can trust (Deut 1:30-31)

God- the Father who disciplines his children, in whom we recognise His true love (Deut 8:2-5)

God- the Father who adopts us in whom we have redemption, forgiveness of sins and

eternal security (Psalm 68:4-6).

God- the Father who pities his children, to whom we are grateful (Psalm 103:8-14).

Page 23: 25/1/2015 WORSHIP TODAY Welcome The Wonders of God’s Names The Father

(Psalm 103:8-14)The LORD is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. 9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities.11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west,So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father pities his children,So the LORD pities those who fear Him

Page 24: 25/1/2015 WORSHIP TODAY Welcome The Wonders of God’s Names The Father

Psalm 103 reflects on God’s declaration of His self-identity given to Moses in Exodus 34:6-7

“The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious

God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness ...

forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin”

Page 25: 25/1/2015 WORSHIP TODAY Welcome The Wonders of God’s Names The Father

Psalm 103 exalts the forgiving grace of God, in that, God himself does not deal with us as our sins deserve. He himself has ‘removed our transgression from us’

1 Peter 2:24 says: “Christ himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you

have been healed’”

Page 26: 25/1/2015 WORSHIP TODAY Welcome The Wonders of God’s Names The Father

Psalm 103 colours the compassionate grace of God in dealing with our sins by using three metaphors; vv. 11. 12. 13;

Horizontal- As far the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions

Relational- As father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on

those who fear him .

Vertical- For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for us

Page 27: 25/1/2015 WORSHIP TODAY Welcome The Wonders of God’s Names The Father

Just as a human father watches with loving

understanding as his son struggles with some

man-sized load, so our heavenly Father look

down in pity on us in our weakness.

He empathize with our

weaknesses

Heb 4:15Heb 4:15
