    "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

    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 45:1-6. 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

    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

    'Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil' (Ephesians 6:10).

    THE TRICKS AND DECEPTIONS OF THE DEVIL. Genesis 3:1-6. Perhaps our first parents did not know the history of the fall of Lucifer, the day star in Isaiah 14:12-21 and Ezekiel 28:11-19. But it did not take long for the cunning serpent to draw them into his pernicious scheme to undermine the LORD ...read more

    QUAIL AND MANNA: TOKENS OF HIS PRESENCE. Exodus 16:2-7a. In this passage, we join the children of Israel just six weeks into their wilderness journey.

    The work of the Good Shepherd.

    THE LORD OUR SHEPHERD. Ezekiel 34:11-16a. First, we see the Good Shepherd as the one who seeks out the lost sheep, Ezekiel 34:11. ‘If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray,’ teaches Jesus, ‘does he not go to the mountains to seek the one who is straying?’ (cf. Matthew 18:12). ...read more

     | 739 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

    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.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,033 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

    GLORY ONLY IN THE CROSS. Galatians 6:11-18. As Paul draws towards the conclusion of his letter to the Galatians, he takes the pen into his own hand (GALATIANS 6:11) and emphasizes once more the issue between the Judaisers and himself. The motives of his opponents are suspect: to make a good ...read more

    The one who brings salvation, and a safe dwelling place for His people, is ‘the LORD our righteousness’ (JEREMIAH 23:6).

    THE BRANCH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. Jeremiah 23:5-8. “Behold… the word of the LORD,” (JEREMIAH 23:5). The prophet uses the image of a righteous Branch growing out of a felled tree – which so wonderfully typifies God’s dealings with His people. Just when the tree of David seems to be left without hope, ...read more
