  • Precious In His Sight, And Loved

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 20, 2013
    based on 5 ratings
     | 9,223 views

    The in-gathering of Israel, and of the nations.

    PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT, AND LOVED. Isaiah 43:1-7. This beautiful poem is a love letter. It is from the LORD, who created the world (Isaiah 40:26), and who directs the affairs of nations (Isaiah 40:22-23). It is from the One who created Jacob, and formed the nation of Israel (Isaiah 43:1). The ...read more

  • Behold, I Am Doing A New Thing

    based on 6 ratings
     | 18,704 views

    Remember not the former things...

    BEHOLD, I AM DOING A NEW THING! Isaiah 43:18-25. The first point of application for the prophecies of Isaiah 1-35 is the contemporary Assyrian threat, which is finally resolved in the narrative of Isaiah 36-37. After King Hezekiah’s sickness in Isaiah 38 - and the miraculous turning back of the ...read more

  • The Unity Of Hope

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,459 views

    The Christ child as the hope of the nations.

    THE UNITY OF HOPE. Romans 15:4-13. In many respects we might view Romans 14:1 to Romans15:13 as the practical outworking of the Jewish/Gentile debate of Romans 9 to 11. There was some dissension in Rome over matters of food and drink, and holy days. It is quite probable that it was a question of ...read more

  • Blessing The One Who Blesses Us With Blessings.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,698 views

    Chosen to be holy.

    BLESSING THE ONE WHO BLESSES US WITH BLESSINGS. Ephesians 1:3-14. In their original language, these verses constitute the longest sentence in the whole Bible. They form one long celebration of the Blessed One, who blesses us with blessings (Ephesians 1:3). The blessings begin with Him, bring ...read more

  • Arise, Shine, Your Light Is Come

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 13 ratings
     | 15,524 views

    Our job is to reflect His light.

    ARISE, SHINE, YOUR LIGHT IS COME. Isaiah 60:1-6. Zion was enveloped in a thick spiritual darkness on account of her sins (Isaiah 59:9-12). It was a darkness like the deepest discouragements and depression of the human heart: a darkness that could be felt (Exodus 10:21). It was a darkness that ...read more

  • The Unveiling Of The Mystery.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,446 views

    A hitherto hidden reality is now revealed.

    THE UNVEILING OF THE MYSTERY. Ephesians 3:1-12. The “For this cause” of Ephesians 3:1 follows Paul’s contemplation of the reconciliation accomplished by our Lord Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:11-22). Jesus, by His own blood, had resolved the estrangement between God and man, and had broken down the ...read more

  • A Light For The Nations

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 23, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 8,107 views

    The call of the Gentiles.

    A LIGHT FOR THE NATIONS. Isaiah 49:1-7 - Second Servant Song. 1. The universality of His mission (Isaiah 49:1). The Servant’s appeal to the islands (or coastlands) and “far off people” ultimately embraces the whole world (Revelation 7:9; Revelation 14:6). Yet He never loses sight of His call ...read more

  • Let Us Go To The House Of The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 24, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 10,582 views

    The peace of Jerusalem is tied up with the house of the Lord.

    LET US GO TO THE HOUSE OF THE LORD. Psalm 122:1-9. The “house of the LORD” encompasses this Psalm (Psalm 122:1; Psalm 122:9). Jerusalem, in turn, encompassed the house of the LORD (Psalm 122:2; Psalm 122:3; Psalm 122:7). Jerusalem thus became the place of pilgrimage and thanksgiving (Psalm ...read more

  • Grace And Peace, Thanksgiving And Fellowship

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,157 views

    Grace as the source of spiritual gifts. Peace as something more than the absence of war. Thanksgiving is for always. Fellowship in Christ draws individuals together.

    GRACE AND PEACE, THANKSGIVING AND FELLOWSHIP. 1 Corinthians 1:3-9. It was customary for Greek and Roman letter-writers in the first century A.D. to prefix their epistles with “greetings” (Acts 15:23; James 1:1). Paul regularly uses a pun, replacing “greetings” with “grace” (1 Corinthians 1:3). ...read more

  • Galilee Of The Nations

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 8 ratings
     | 5,276 views

    Jesus reaches out beyond the borders of life.

    GALILEE OF THE NATIONS. Matthew 4:12-23. In Egypt, Joseph Ben-David was instructed to take the holy family back to Israel, because Jesus had things to do there. Joseph took Jesus and Mary to Nazareth in Galilee. There they dwelt, and there Jesus grew up (Matthew 2:20-23). The years passed by, ...read more

  • The Controversy Of The Lord

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,435 views

    What does the LORD require of you?

    THE LORD’S CONTROVERSY. Micah 6:1-8. It is tragic when God has to serve a summons upon His own people. The “prisoner in the dock” is Israel herself, and the LORD is ready to submit His case. The witnesses are the mountains and hills (Micah 6:1), and strong foundations of the earth (Micah 6:2). ...read more

  • The Blessings Of The Christian

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 9 ratings
     | 8,777 views

    We willingly accept the blessings of the Beatitudes, but must also embrace the responsibilities.

    THE BLESSINGS OF THE CHRISTIAN. Matthew 5:1-12. The Sermon on the Mount is directed towards those who are already disciples of Jesus (Matthew 5:1). This is important. It counters both those religious hopefuls who find the Beatitudes impossible to keep, and those religious moralists who glibly ...read more

  • The Nature Of True Fasting

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 7 ratings
     | 17,004 views

    True fasting will lead the liberated soul to seek relief and liberty for others.

    THE NATURE OF TRUE FASTING. Isaiah 58:1-12. Surprisingly, the only place where the law of Moses commands fasting is in the “affliction of soul” associated with the Day of Atonement (Leviticus 16:29-31; Leviticus 23:27-32; Numbers 29:7). This is apt, as it immediately associates fasting with ...read more

  • Salt And Light

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 6 ratings
     | 11,966 views

    True Christians cannot remain secret for long.

    SALT AND LIGHT. Matthew 5:13-16. The metaphors of salt and light follow immediately after Jesus’ profile of the blessed Christian. The meek shall inherit the earth (Matthew 5:5) because meekness is not weakness, but quite the contrary. The peacemakers (Matthew 5:9) are surely not merely sitting ...read more

  • The Restoration Of The People Of God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Nov 25, 2013
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,864 views

    Faithful preachers are sent to restore the earth, so that the meek may inherit it.

    THE RESTORATION OF GOD’S PEOPLE. Isaiah 49:8-16. In Isaiah 49:3 the Servant is named as Israel, yet the New Testament identifies the Servant as Jesus (Matthew 12:14-21; Acts 8:32-35): our Lord is the ideal which Israel typologically represented. Paul’s quotation of Isaiah 49:6 teaches us that ...read more
