Ye

and thinks it is prepared for those whose feet are slipping.

but I do not forget Your precepts.

and like a root out of dry ground.
He didn’t have an impressive form
or majesty that we should look at Him,
no appearance that we should desire Him.

As christ

“The one who welcomes you welcomes Me, and the one who welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me.

And whoever welcomes one child like this in My name welcomes Me.

“And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.’

Whoever listens to you listens to Me. Whoever rejects you rejects Me. And whoever rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me.”

I assure you: Whoever receives anyone I send receives Me, and the one who receives Me receives Him who sent Me.”

Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, certain that God is appealing through us. We plead on Christ’s behalf, “Be reconciled to God.”

This is why we constantly thank God, because when you received the message about God that you heard from us, you welcomed it not as a human message, but as it truly is, the message of God, which also works effectively in you believers.
