Speaker 1
So Carolyn is asking how many times does the Bible say he Jesus would never leave you?
Speaker 2
I was so excited, Carolyn, when I saw this because of all the promises.
Speaker 3
In the Bible, this is one that’s really resonated with me and been one.
Speaker 2
That’S really special for me through all.
Speaker 4
The so I appreciated the opportunity to.
Speaker 3
Really study and see yeah, how many.
Speaker 4
Times does it come up? Because it is a pattern.
Speaker 3
I noticed you said how many times.
Speaker 2
Does Jesus say that?
Speaker 4
So that’s a good question. So I counted in the Bible eight.
Speaker 3
Times and all this promise comes up four times. I would say we’re directly from Jesus himself. Four times are more indirectly stated, but.
Speaker 4
I know Jesus would have said it other. Oh and I should clarify that some.
Speaker 5
Of these times we’ll look at was.
Speaker 3
When Jesus was the angel of the.
Speaker 2
Lord before he became incarnated as human.
Speaker 4
So times when it was totally Jesus. Nobody have any doubts about that.
Speaker 3
The first one would be John 14, verse 18. And there he says, I will not.
Speaker 2
Leave you orphans, I will come to you.
Speaker 3
Then we see Matthew 28, verse 20.
Speaker 4
Jesus says, teaching them all to teaching.
Speaker 5
Them to observe all things that I have commanded you and lo, I am with you always.
Speaker 2
I love that even to the end of the age. So that’s the very end of Matthew actually.
Speaker 5
Then we can jump all the way back to Genesis 28, verse 15. I love this one.
Speaker 3
This is to Jacob in his dream.
Speaker 2
When he sees the ladder. And here’s what Jesus tells him, says.
Speaker 5
Behold, I am with you and will.
Speaker 3
Keep you wherever you go and will.
Speaker 5
Bring you back to this land, for.
Speaker 6
I will not leave you until I.
Speaker 2
Have done what I have spoken to you.
Speaker 4
What a great promise there.
Speaker 3
I bet that was so meaningful to.
Speaker 2
Jacob during that time.
Speaker 5
Then we go on to Deuteronomy.
Speaker 2
Now, this is Moses speaking, but I’m.
Speaker 5
Pretty confident that Jesus would have spoken.
Speaker 3
These words to Moses and then Moses.
Speaker 2
Is now speaking them to the children of Israel.
Speaker 3
And we’ll talk about why I think.
Speaker 2
Jesus told Moses this.
Speaker 5
So deuteronomy 31, verse six. It says, Be strong and of good courage. Do not fear nor be afraid of them, for the Lord your God, he is the one who goes with you.
Speaker 6
He will not leave you, nor forsake you.
Speaker 4
Similarly, two verses ahead, Deuteronomy 31 verse eight.
Speaker 5
And the Lord, he is the one who goes before you. He will be with you.
Speaker 6
He will not leave you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be dismayed.
Speaker 2
Why do I think Moses is quoting.
Speaker 4
God here or quoting Jesus?
Speaker 5
It’s because in Joshua one five, jesus does appear to Joshua as the angel of the Lord. And this is what he tells him.
Speaker 2
He says, no man shall be able.
Speaker 5
To stand before you all the days of your life.
Speaker 3
As I was with Moses, so I.
Speaker 6
Will be with you. I will not leave you, nor forsake you.
Speaker 4
Then we go to flash forward to the time of David.
Speaker 5
David is speaking to his son Solomon.
Speaker 2
This is first Chronicles, chapter 28, verse 21st.
Speaker 3
Chronicles, chapter 28, verse 20.
Speaker 2
And David tells Solomon, be strong and.
Speaker 5
Of good courage, and do it.
Speaker 6
Do not fear nor be dismayed, for.
Speaker 5
The Lord your God, my God, will be with you.
Speaker 6
He will not leave you, nor forsake you until you have finished all the.
Speaker 2
Work of your service of the house of the Lord. And then finally, these words are reiterated.
Speaker 6
In the book of Hebrews.
Speaker 4
A lot of people attribute it to quoting Deuteronomy.
Speaker 2
So this is Hebrews 13, verse five.
Speaker 6
Hebrews 13, verse five.
Speaker 3
And it reads, keep your lives free.
Speaker 5
From the love of money.
Speaker 3
Be content with what you have, because.
Speaker 5
God has said, never will I leave.
Speaker 6
You, nor will I forsake you.
Speaker 2
So there’s this promise repeated eight times throughout the Bible.
Speaker 3
Least two times clearly by Jesus, another two times, I would say, in Old.
Speaker 2
Testament by him, and four times repeated beautiful promise.
