    Jesus wept over Jerusalem, cleansed the Temple, and taught the people who were attentive to Him.

    WEEPING, CLEANSING, AND TEACHING. Luke 19:41-47a. 1. Jesus weeps over Jerusalem (Luke 19:41-44). As He approached Jerusalem, ‘the man Christ Jesus’ (cf. 1 Timothy 2:5) wept over the city and the people whom He loved (Luke 19:41). His complaint about the people (Luke 19:42) became a ...read more

     | 393 views

    "Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what He hath done for my soul" (Psalm 66:16).

    OF ANSWERED PRAYER. Psalm 66:14-20. The testimony of the people of God is supplemented with the testimony of one believer: like a good old-fashioned evangelistic meeting, which not only has good preaching, but also individual testimonies to follow. The voice of the one rises above the song of ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 464 views

    'Peace, peace; when there is no peace' (cf. Jeremiah 8:11).

    FALSE PROPHETS. Jeremiah 23:16-24. Some prophets in Jerusalem were speaking a vision of their own imagination, and not from the mouth of the LORD. They were telling those who despise the LORD, “The LORD has said, Ye shall have peace… No evil shall befall you” (JEREMIAH 23:16-17; cf. Jeremiah ...read more

    A CALL TO RECOMMITMENT. Joshua 24:14-25. Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem, descendants of both Abraham and Jacob, and there they presented themselves before the LORD (cf.

    Gratefully receiving His bountiful provision.

    PROVIDENCE AND PRAISE. Psalm 145:15-21. Whether they know it or not, all flesh is dependent upon the LORD for their daily provision (PSALM 145:15). Whether they acknowledge it or not, no man can find sufficient sustenance without the LORD. It is better therefore to seek Him first, knowing ...read more

    An evangelistic appeal.

    THE GREAT INVITATION. Isaiah 55:6-11. ISAIAH 55:6. We are exhorted to seek the LORD, while He may be found. If we seek Him with all our heart, and all our soul, we will find Him. Then He will rain righteousness upon us, making us righteous through the Lord Jesus Christ. He will bring life to the ...read more

     | 450 views

    Set free to serve righteousness.

    THE WAGES AND THE GIFT. Romans 6:19-23. Upon conversion Christians, 'having been set free' from sin, 'became bondmen' to righteousness (cf. Romans 6:18). Paul apologises for thus speaking in such stark human terms: but it is “because of the weakness of your flesh,” he argues. ...read more

     | 627 views

    By their fruits shall ye know them.

    WOLVES IN SHEEP’S CLOTHING. Matthew 7:15-21. Jesus warns against false teachers (MATTHEW 7:15). They are wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are like the false prophets of Old Testament days, who preached ‘peace, peace’ when there was no peace (Jeremiah 6:14). Jesus warns us that there ...read more

     | 799 views

    The fourth significant sign in the Gospel of John.

    FIVE THOUSAND FED. John 6:5-14. Jesus looked up “and saw a great company” of people coming to Him. The Good Shepherd tended His own flock with the words to local boy Philip, “Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?” (JOHN 6:5). Sometimes Jesus makes us face up to the magnitude of our ...read more

    based on 2 ratings

    “When these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh” (LUKE 21:28).

    SIGNS OF THE END. Luke 21:25-33. The apocalyptic imagery which Jesus employs (LUKE 21:25-27) might at first seem uncharacteristic of our loving Lord Jesus: but He stood in the long tradition of the prophets of old (e.g. Joel 2:30-32; Isaiah 24:19). In fact, the return of Jesus as judge will ...read more

    based on 2 ratings
     | 408 views

    THE RETURN OF THE SON OF MAN. Matthew 24:23-31. Jesus here warns us against the danger of false Christs and false prophets. Even the very elect of God might be deceived, He says, "if it were possible" (Matthew 24:24). Well, how shall the second coming of Christ be known? Will it be ...read more

     | 464 views

    "I AM the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep" (John 10:11).

    JESUS THE GOOD SHEPHERD. John 10:11-16. In John 10 Jesus effectively castigated the Pharisees for their failures as the spiritual shepherds of Israel. The image was familiar in a pastoral society, and echoed the Old Testament (e.g. Jeremiah 23:1-4). JOHN 10:11. In the fourth “I am” saying of ...read more

    “Who is so great a God as our God?” (PSALM 77:13b).

    REMEMBERING THE WORKS OF THE LORD. Psalm 77:11-20. PSALM 77:11. “I will remember the works of the LORD.” This we must do, for ‘Hitherto hath the LORD helped us’ (cf. 1 Samuel 7:12). ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever’ (cf. Hebrews 13:8), so we let our yesterday inform our ...read more

    Babel reversed; God’s purposes restored.

    PENTECOST. Acts 2:1-11. There is a time and a place for everything - or so the old folks used to say. There was a time for Christmas, and a time for Easter. There was a time for Ascension - and now, a time for Pentecost. The Greek reads, “in the filling-in of the Day of Pentecost” they were all ...read more

    Do Not Judge.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 756 views

    First, we must operate on ourselves, seeking out the sin that hinders us and leaving it with the Lord; and then, and only then, are we in a fit state to help the other.

    DO NOT JUDGE. Luke 6:36-42. “‘Ye all’ therefore be merciful, as your Father is merciful” (LUKE 6:36; cf. Romans 9:15). We are being called to be compassionate, to exercise grace towards those who are hostile to us. It was ‘when we were enemies’ that ‘we were reconciled to God by the death of ...read more
