    Five Thousand Fed.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 28, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 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

    Signs Of The End.

     | 888 views

    “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

    Jesus And John The Baptist.

     | 543 views

    "Blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me" (Matthew 11:6).

    JESUS AND JOHN THE BAPTIST. Matthew 11:2-10. MATTHEW 11:2-3. We do not know for sure why John the Baptist sent two of his disciples to speak with Jesus. Perhaps prison had knocked the wind out of his sails, and he wanted some reassurance that it had not all been in vain. Or perhaps it was for ...read more

    The Christian And Sin. Abridged.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 388 views

    "Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God" (1 John 3:1).

    THE CHRISTIAN AND SIN. Abridged. 1 John 3:1-8. “Behold,” says John. Pause for thought and reflection. For it is indeed a wonderful demonstration of God's love that “we” should be called the sons of God (1 JOHN 3:1). This was not what we deserved, but as we know from other Scriptures, it ...read more

    The Return Of The Son Of Man.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 16, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 409 views

    The tribes of the earth may well mourn at His presence, but He will send His angels to gather together His own elect people from the four corners of the earth. Take courage, dear Christian!

    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

     | 480 views

    Walk in Love. Awake from the dead! Walk in Light.

    WAKEFUL WALKING IN LIGHT AND LOVE. Ephesians 5:1-14. I). Walking in Love and Light. Ephesians 5:1-9. When we are ‘imitators’ of God as ‘beloved children,’ we will ‘walk in love’ (agape) toward one another (cf. EPHESIANS 5:1-2). Our model of love is the Lord Jesus Christ, who ‘loved us and ...read more

     | 346 views

    "But Christ..." (Hebrews 9:11).

    A HIGH PRIEST OF GOOD THINGS TO COME. Hebrews 9:11-15. This short passage is the high point of the writer’s comparison between the old covenant and the new. In an argument from the lesser to the greater, the chapter commences with a demonstration of the limitations of the access to God allowed ...read more

    Shadows Of The Approaching Day.

     | 467 views

    "For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified" (Hebrews 10:14).

    SHADOWS OF THE APPROACHING DAY. Hebrews 10:1-25. The Law is but a “shadow” of “good things to come” (HEBREWS 10:1). As such the Law, though good in itself (cf. Romans 7:12), serves only as a schoolmaster pointing us to Jesus (cf. Galatians 3:24). The round of sacrifices represented here by ...read more

    Different reactions to the empty tomb.

    THE MYSTERY OF THE EMPTY TOMB. John 20:1-10. While Jesus’ enemies had been busying themselves setting a watch over His tomb, the disciples had been sitting quietly at home, keeping the Sabbath. At first dawn Mary Magdalene - and some other women - came to the sepulchre, and found the stone had ...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

    Comfort in the certainty of God's Word.

    COMFORT YE. Isaiah 40:1-9. We have before us a passage which may well be remarkably familiar to us: yet please do not allow its very familiarity to breed contempt. This is a little Gospel, a sort of proto-Gospel written by the prophet many years before the event. Our task is to ask Isaiah ...read more

    The Glories Of The Messiah.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 404 views

    This is a song about love: but principally about the love of Christ and the Church (cf. Ephesians 5:32).

    THE GLORIES OF THE MESSIAH. Psalm 45:1-7. The Psalmist wrote of things beyond his natural knowledge. As a prophet, he sought diligently and inquired after the grace that was to come (1 Peter 1:10). Then he spoke and wrote as the Spirit of God led him (2 Peter 1:21). I). Psalm 45:1-2. ...read more

     | 452 views

    The unfaithfulness of God's people.

    A MATTER OF PRIORITIES. Hosea 6:4-6. HOSEA 6:4. The two halves of this verse are two examples of parallelism. First, the LORD laments over the two kingdoms of Israel: “Ephraim” in the north, and “Judah” in the south. The loving Father asks each in turn, “What shall I do unto you?” And we can ...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

    The consequences of Adam's first sin.

    WHERE ART THOU? Genesis 3:9-19. Adam was the representative head of the human race, and when he partook of the forbidden fruit he brought disaster and death upon all of his descendants. Spiritual death, separation from God, was immediate. Suddenly man and his wife realised that they were ...read more
