Shelter, security and safety in Christ! In Clefts of the Rock: The Believer’s Grounds of Confidence in Christ, MacDuff refers to the many aspects of the Person and Work of Jesus, as various ’clefts in the rock’ in which a believer may find protection, comfort, and strength in life. One Rock, but a multiplicity of grounds of confidence and trust, each inviting the weary to rest. Christ, the Rock suggests strength, durability and accessibility besides a haven. Heartening!
