He has done all things well. I’ll sing of Jesus crucified, The Lamb of God who bled and died, A healing balm, a crimson tide, Flowed from His head, His feet, His side! Above the rest this note shall swell, ‘My Jesus has done all things well.’ He sought me in the wilderness, And found […]
“He has done all things well!” Mark 7:37 By Octavius Winslow, “The sigh of Christ” Yes, from first to last, from our cradle to our grave, from the earliest pang of sin’s conviction, to the last thrill of sin’s forgiveness, from earth to heaven — this will be our testimony in all the way the […]
God takes care of poor weak Christians that are struggling with temptations and corruptions; Christ carries them in His arms. All Christ’s sheep are diseased, and therefore He will have a tender care of them (Isaiah 40:11). Richard Sibbes
And Jesus, when He came out, saw a great multitude and was moved with compassion for them, because they were like sheep not having a shepherd. So He began to teach them many things. When the day was now far spent, His disciples came to Him and said, “This is a deserted place, and already […]
From the end of the earth will I cry unto you. When my heart is overwhelmed; lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Psalm 61:2 There is something in this expression in our text, “rock,” which seems, to my mind, to throw a sweet and blessed light upon what Jesus is to the […]
The Lord Jesus Christ Christ Jesus the Son of God, is the Seed of Woman, the Promised Seed (Genesis 3: 15;Galatians 3: 16). He is the Man who took and sowed the seed (Hebrews 2: 16; John 12: 24). Those who think themselves something when they are nothing are called “cedars of Lebanon” “oaks of Bashan”. But he […]
CHRIST IS ALL, AND IN ALL “The Lord is my portion, says my soul.” “Christ is all, and in all.”–Col. 3:11 We close these devout meditations with a magnificent Doxology–Christ all, and Christ in all! It is an epitome, the substance, the consummation and crown of the whole. Each theme has been a wider opening […]
You might as soon yoke a gnat with an archangel as think of your going in to help Christ save you. To join a filthy rag from off a dunghill with the golden garments of a king or a queen cannot be permitted. Christ will be everything, or else he will be nothing. You must […]
THE PROMISES OF GOD “For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in him.” 2 Cor. 1:20 God has made a Will, or Testament, in behalf of His people! It is signed and sealed. It cannot be altered- nothing can divest us of our inheritance. The bequest is His own “exceeding great and precious promises.” What a […]
A question for streetlights. Isaiah 13: 10: For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine. When I was a teenager growing up in the country I almost always had a million-candlepower […]
