    ARE YOU HE THAT SHOULD COME? Luke 7:18-23. As the rumours about Jesus spread throughout Judaea, and beyond (cf. Luke 7:17), “the disciples of John showed him all these things” (LUKE 7:18). John sent them back with a question for Jesus: “Are You He that should come, or look we for another?” ...read more

    This chapter is addressed initially to Cyrus, the LORD’s ‘anointed’ (cf. Isaiah 45:1). The LORD introduces Himself as God who “created the heavens and formed the earth” and announces again, “I am the LORD: and there is none else” (ISAIAH 45:18).

    THE GOD WHO SHAPES THE WORLD. Isaiah 45:6-8, Isaiah 45:18, Isaiah 45:21-25. ISAIAH 45:6-8. 1. “I the LORD and no one else” (Isaiah 45:6b).

    THIS POOR MAN CRIES. Psalm 34:1-6; Psalm 34:21-22. PSALM 34:1. For us to “bless the LORD” is to tell forth His goodness. What we say reflects Whose we are.

     | 63 views

    Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus to us?

    THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN DIVINE AND HUMAN AUTHORITY. Matthew 21:23-27. This conversation follows hard on the heels of Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple (cf. Matthew 21:12), and the symbolic withering of the fig tree (cf. Matthew 21:18-20). “Who gave you the right to do such things?” demanded the ...read more

    The difference between words and action. Time for true repentance, and amendment of life.

    A SIMPLE PARABLE. Matthew 21:28-32. Now it was Jesus’ turn to pose a question, based on a simple parable. We must adjust our teaching method to suit the audience we have. “But what do you think?” asked Jesus (MATTHEW 21:28).

    Being led by the LORD, and taught by Him.

    HOPE AND INSTRUCTION IN THE WAY OF GOD. Psalm 25:3-8. The Psalmist’s plea not to be 'put to shame' (cf. Psalm 25:2) was not only personal, but also concerned the whole community of those who “wait” upon the LORD (PSALM 25:3). As such, it also concerned the honour of the God in whom we ...read more

    THE SHINING FACE OF GOD. Psalm 80:1-4; Psalm 80:18-19. Asaph begins his prayer with an appeal that God will hear (PSALM 80:1). Sometimes our Shepherd seems distant, and deaf to our cries.

    This is a part of the testimony of Jesus about John the Baptist.

    A TRIBUTE TO THE FORERUNNER. Matthew 11:11-15. MATTHEW 11:11. John the Baptist had been faithful in his ministry, and always pointed away from himself to the One who should come.

     | 123 views

    When we are yoked to Him the trials of life are easily borne.

    A CALL TO THE WHOSOEVER. Matthew 11:28-30. There is a fine line between the Sovereignty of God and human responsibility. God reveals Himself to whomsoever He will, 'for so it seemed good in Thy sight' (cf. Matthew 11:26; cf. Deuteronomy 7:7-8; John 15:16; 1 John 4:19). Yet Jesus calls, ...read more
