  • A High Priest Of Good Things To Come.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 18, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 502 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.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 19, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 562 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

  • Jesus Crucified.

    Scripture fulfilled.

    JESUS CRUCIFIED. John 19:1-37. 1). BEHOLD YOUR KING. John 19:1-16. JOHN 19:1. The nineteenth chapter of John’s Gospel opens in the midst of the ridiculous drama of Pilate’s darting back and forth between the hypocritical Jewish leadership on the doorstep, who refused to come into the judgment ...read more

  • The Mystery Of The Empty Tomb.

     | 602 views

    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

  • The Certainty Of God's Witness.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 413 views

    A faith that overcomes.

    THE CERTAINTY OF GOD’S WITNESS. 1 John 5:4-12. It is interesting to note that 1 JOHN 5:4 begins “all that is born of God” overcomes the world. On just this one occasion, this is written in the neuter. The deeds of faith performed by born-again people are just as much begotten of God as the ...read more

  • Jesus The Good Shepherd.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 20, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 579 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

  • A Hymn To The Redeemer.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,279 views

    Worship is not only a duty for the congregation, but also of the individual Christian.

    A HYMN TO THE REDEEMER. Psalm 149:1-9. PSALM 149:1. The exhortation to “Praise ye the LORD” is especially addressed to “saints” = those loved by God with His covenant love. All of God’s people are saints, and we are envisaged as met together in congregation, singing His praise. It is only those ...read more

  • A Glorious Future.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 13, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 330 views

    It is remarkable that the LORD Himself should commit Himself to wash away our sins.

    A GLORIOUS FUTURE. Isaiah 4:2-6. ISAIAH 4:2. “In that day” is the same expression as is used in the preceding chapters (cf. Isaiah 2:11-12; Isaiah 2:17; Isaiah 2:20). There it speaks of the desperation of both men (cf. Isaiah 3:6-7), and women (cf. Isaiah 3:18; Isaiah 4:1) under the judgment of ...read more

  • To See Or Not To See.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 13, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 534 views

    'Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world' (1 John:4:4).

    TO SEE OR NOT TO SEE. 2 Kings 6:14-23. The king of Syria suspected that he might have a spy in his camp, because the king of Israel somehow kept evading his ambushes. But no, informed one his servants, it was not one of us, but Elisha the prophet who kept telling the king of Israel ‘the words ...read more

  • The Set Time.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 17, 2025
    based on 2 ratings
     | 721 views

    Promises for a generation yet unborn (cf. Psalm 102:18).

    THE SET TIME. Psalm 102:15-22. The immediate context of these verses speaks of how the eternal LORD shall yet ‘have mercy upon Zion: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come’ (cf. Psalm 102:13). This anticipates more than the rebuilding of Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. It ...read more

  • Faith, Forgiveness And Healing

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Mar 12, 2020
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,576 views

    Jesus' authority to forgive sins.

    FAITH, FORGIVENESS AND HEALING. Matthew 9:1-8. The place referred to as “His own city” (Matthew 9:1) appears to be Capernaum (cf. Mark 2:1). This is all the more tragic because of the ‘woe’ which Jesus would later pronounce against that city (Matthew 11:23-24). It would be a tragedy to have ...read more

  • Amazing Grace For Backsliding Believers

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jan 1, 2021
    based on 4 ratings
     | 2,597 views

    The LORD also hath put away thy sin - 2 Samuel 12:13.

    AMAZING GRACE FOR BACKSLIDING BELIEVERS. 2 Samuel 11:26-27, 2 Samuel 12:1-15. It is not my purpose at this time to go into all the sordid details of David’s sin with Bathsheba, and his subsequent conspiracy to murder her husband. All this is explicit in chapters 11 and 12 of second Samuel. ...read more

  • A Pleading

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 17, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,838 views

    We have left a God-shape hole in our lives and try to fill it with other things.

    A PLEADING. Jeremiah 2:4-13. In this passage the LORD yet again makes His complaint against the whole house of Israel (Jeremiah 2:4). As we read it, we begin to realise that this is also His indictment against the whole of mankind, and against the visible Church in particular. “What ...read more

  • The Tender Mercy Of A Jealous God

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 3, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 3,627 views

    Let us pray for the whole state of the church of Christ.

    THE TENDER MERCY OF A JEALOUS GOD. Psalm 79:1-9. Despite what our first impression may have been, this is not a general lament about all the ills of the world but rather a particular lament about something afflicting the people of God. And even then, it is not just about ‘us’ but more so ...read more

  • The Years That The Locust Has Eaten

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 31, 2019
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,190 views

    A promise of restoration to the repentant. A prophecy of the outpouring of the Spirit. A warning of the judgment to come.

    THE YEARS THAT THE LOCUST HAS EATEN. Joel 2:23-32. A very old elder once said to me that his only regret was “the years that the locust has eaten” (Joel 2:25). However, there is no point in bemoaning what may have been, but rather our eyes should be on the here and now, and in the prospects ...read more
