  • The Prayer Of Jesus - Part Two.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Feb 7, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,127 views

    They Are Not of This World. Revised.

    THE PRAYER OF JESUS – Part 2. John 17:11-19. JOHN 17:11. In the second part of His prayer, our Lord addresses the “Holy Father”). This epithet is unique, but understandable. Jesus is about to pray for the disciples’ sanctification (cf. John 17:17). He prays that they will be “kept through the ...read more

  • Christ Our Passover Is Sacrificed For Us.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,315 views

    A perpetual feast to the LORD.

    CHRIST OUR PASSOVER IS SACRIFICED FOR US. 1 Corinthians 5:6-8. The context for this passage is one of church discipline (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:1). The case in point concerns an incestuous affair which, far from addressing, the church seems to have been ‘puffed up’ about (cf. 1 Corinthians 5:2). ...read more

  • Thanksgiving For The Grace Of God.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jun 25, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 626 views

    Thank God for the grace given by Jesus Christ.

    THANKSGIVING FOR THE GRACE OF GOD. 1 Corinthians 1:4-8. Paul offers thanksgiving to God for the church at Corinth (1 CORINTHIANS 1:4). This is good pastoral care: Paul wants the Corinthians to know that, even if he does have some stern words to speak to them, it is because his heart longs for ...read more

  • A Name More Excellent. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Jul 7, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 630 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
     | 1,018 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
     | 363 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
     | 716 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
     | 789 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.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Aug 20, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 584 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.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 986 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
     | 771 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

  • The Closing Of The Age. Abridged.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Sep 27, 2023
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,144 views

    We do not know the day and the hour when Jesus will return, so we also need to keep awake and be watchful.

    THE CLOSING OF THE AGE. Mark 13:24-37. The “last days” began at Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:17), and the fall of Jerusalem was part of the process which culminates in the vivid cosmic happenings outlined in MARK 13:24-25. Such an occurrence had been envisaged by Isaiah 13:10, in the context of the ...read more

    The Baptism, Temptation, and Preaching of Jesus.

    THE BEGINNING OF JESUS’ MINISTRY. Mark 1:9-15. MARK 1:9-11. The Baptism of Jesus. Jesus came to John to be baptised in the River Jordan. Jesus did not have any personal sin to repent of, but His washing with water may have signified the ritual washing of a priest when he is first ...read more

  • A Throne Set In Heaven.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,170 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

  • The Cross And Regeneration.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 22, 2024
    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,782 views

    The Holy Spirit applies the message of the Cross to our lives.

    THE CROSS AND REGENERATION. John 3:1-15. JOHN 3:1. Nicodemus was a member of the strictest sect of the Jews: the Pharisees. No doubt he sought to keep all the man-made rules of his religion, as well as the law of God which was given to Moses. Nicodemus was a religious man; an upright man; a ...read more
