  • The High Priesthood Of Jesus.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 12, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,949 views

    A priest forever after the order of Melchisedec.

    THE HIGH PRIESTHOOD OF JESUS. Hebrews 5:5-10. Jesus was called and ordained of God (Hebrews 5:5-6). The writer proceeds to prove this in a manner of Hebrew commentary which brings together two Scriptures which have a word in common: in this case “You” (singular). The first Scripture refers to ...read more

  • A Name More Excellent. Abridged.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 591 views

    The superiority of Jesus.

    A NAME MORE EXCELLENT. Hebrews 1:1-12. The high Christology of Hebrews 1 bears comparison with that of John 1:1-14. We are first reminded of the many and various ways that God spoke through the prophets in times past (Hebrews 1:1). Then we are informed that the final word of God has now come to ...read more

  • The Parable Of The Sower Explained.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 16, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 939 views

    The Word of God is good seed (Luke 8:11): of that there is no doubt. So why is it that it does not have a good result in the lives of all those who hear it? The fault is in the soil.

    THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER EXPLAINED. Luke 8:4-15. There were great crowds pressing to see Jesus, straining to hear His words, or perhaps hoping for a healing touch. We can imagine Jesus spotting a farmer sowing seed somewhere nearby, and using this to illustrate His own ministry. This parable ...read more

  • When Ye Fast.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 16, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 327 views

    The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

    WHEN YE FAST. Matthew 6:16-21. True Christianity is not the dour, miserable affair which some of its play-actors portray (Matthew 6:16). So when we fast, we must wash-and-brush up in our usual manner (Matthew 6:17). The approval of God is far more to be desired than the applause of men (Matthew ...read more

  • The Nearness Of The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 11, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 671 views

    The righteous LORD draws nigh unto all that call upon Him.

    THE NEARNESS OF THE LORD. Psalm 145:17-21. Our trust in the LORD is not based in our ability to believe, but in His perfections. He is righteous in all His ways: He is just. He is kind in all He does: He is holy (Psalm 145:17). It is good that we can view the LORD as a God who is not ...read more

  • The Lord Is My Salvation.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 16, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 733 views

    The name Jesus means 'The LORD is salvation.' It is He who has saved me!

    THE LORD MY SALVATION. Psalm 118:14-21. This Psalm is the last of the processional Psalms which were sung by pilgrims on their way up to Jerusalem for the great Jewish feasts. There are echoes of the Passover, and anticipations of the death and resurrection of Jesus. PSALM 118:14 takes us back ...read more

  • Sin And Deliverance.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 548 views

    There was none to help except the Lord.

    SIN AND DELIVERANCE. Psalm 107:13-22. This reading begins and ends with a “crying out” to the LORD, His deliverance, and a call to praise. In the first of the two examples here, the petitioners were portrayed as people who were held fast with iron chains in the darkest deepest dungeon, ‘in the ...read more

  • Our Refuge Is The Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 26, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 916 views

    Abiding in the Presence of God.

    OUR REFUGE IS THE LORD. Psalm 91:1-12. The opening verse of this Psalm seems to state the obvious: “those who take their shelter under the Most High are sheltered by the shadow of the Almighty” (PSALM 91:1). Yet there is a reason for this turn of speech: even those who are deemed ‘the people of ...read more

  • That These Bones Might Live.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 28, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 709 views

    How long-dead sun-bleached bones revive, and become an exceeding great army.

    THAT THESE BONES MIGHT LIVE. Ezekiel 37:1-10. The valley into which Ezekiel was transported “in the Spirit of the LORD” was “full” of bones (EZEKIEL 37:1). They were very many, exposed in the open valley, and very dry (EZEKIEL 37:2). The question is: can a vast miscellaneous collection of ...read more

  • Rise Up, Lord.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 31, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 795 views

    "God in His holy habitation" (PSALM 68:5).

    RISE UP, LORD. Psalm 68:1-6. PSALM 68:1. Whenever the ark of the LORD set forward, perhaps even as the priests lifted the ark onto their shoulders, Moses would say ‘Rise up, LORD, and let them that hate thee flee before thee’ (cf. Numbers 10:35). Before we proceed with any project, we should ...read more

  • The Blessing Of The Compassionate.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 1, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 574 views

    "The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive" (PSALM 41:2).

    THE BLESSING OF THE COMPASSIONATE. Psalm 41:1-4. This is a Psalm of David. It is quite possibly about David. It is also about our Lord Jesus (except that Jesus has no personal sin to confess, unlike Psalm 41:4). Psalm 41:1. “Blessed is he who considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him ...read more

  • An Appeal For Mercy.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 2, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 597 views

    A prayer that God might honour His own great name.

    AN APPEAL FOR MERCY. Psalm 79:8-10. God’s people can sometimes see their afflictions as the outworking of their own rebellion against Him. Our failure to keep the LORD’s covenant may often be the cause of our problems, but our repentance brings us to the final court of appeal: His “tender ...read more

  • The Call Of Elisha. Abridged.

     | 565 views

    No looking back!

    THE CALL OF ELISHA. Abridged. 1 Kings 19:19-21. The LORD’s practical response to His despondent servant Elijah was to call him back to duty, and to give him the responsibility for the anointing of (amongst others) a young apprentice for Elijah to mentor (cf. 1 Kings 19:16). This was delegation ...read more

     | 504 views

    When we pray aright, God grants all that we ask, and more besides.

    WISDOM AND WORSHIP. 1 Kings 3:5-15. In Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. “Ask what I shall give thee,” offered the LORD (1 KINGS 3:5). We should take up these offers of the LORD: ‘Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened ...read more

  • A Throne Set In Heaven.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,107 views

    "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" Revelation 4:11.

    A THRONE SET IN HEAVEN. Revelation 4:1-11. REVELATION 4:1. (a). In effect, what John says is, “After these things I looked and beheld an open door in heaven, and the voice which I heard first as of a trumpet speaking with me.” “I looked” or ‘I saw’ – signifying, ‘I saw in the Spirit’ (cf. ...read more
