III. A FATHER'S HELP

 

1. The Lord Who Can [v. 22-23] You’ve got the “if” in the wrong place!

 

2. The Lord Who Cares [v. 19, 24, Matthew 14:14]

And Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick.

 

3. The Lord Who Will [v. 25-27, Hebrews 4:14-16]

 

Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
