Isaiah 49:16

Isaiah 49:16. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands;

How appropriately Christ can say this when he looks on the nail-prints, "I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands"! As I said, this morning, Jesus can give nothing, he can take nothing, he can do nothing, he can hold nothing, without remembering his people: "I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands." How I love that verse of Toplady’s hymn that speaks of this blessed truth! -

"My name from the palms of his hands Eternity will not erase;

Impress’d on his heart it remains In marks of indelible grace:

Yes, I to the end shall endure,

As sure as the earnest is given;

More happy, but not more secure,

The glorified spirits in heaven."
