The contrast really intended here is not between the word of God and the grass of the field; for there are many other things to share with Scripture the honor of out-living the flowers of earth. In one sense the Bible resembles the grass of the field; if by great efforts the latter be rooted up and cast into the fire, much time will not elapse before that same spot is seen verdant again with a new growth. And many rulers have sought to destroy the crop of Bibles sown in their do minions, but...

And how were the servants of God to comfort the people of God? By telling them of Christ. This became the burden of Isaiah's prophecies, as recorded in the fortieth chapter and onwards; and all the prophets his successors continued this strain. This was the banquet that God saw fit to provide for his ancient people. They demanded other comfort, and demanded in vain. When Jesus himself appeared, they refused to accept the comfort; they saw no beauty in him that they should desire him. They...

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. § No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. § He who has seen Me has seen the Father. § The brightness of His glory and the express image of His person. § God was manifested in the flesh.In whom...

So teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. § What will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul?Surely the people are grass.

For the form of this...

The meekness and gentleness of Christ.A bruised reed He will not break, and smoking flax He will not quench. “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed; to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.” … And He began to say to them, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your...

I have compassion on the multitude, because they have now continued with Me three days and have nothing to eat. And I do not want to send them away hungry, lest they faint on the way. § We do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses.Then they brought little children to Him … And He took them up in His arms, laid His hands on them, and blessed them.I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek Your servant. § The Son of Man has come to seek and to save...
