Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith. Hebrews 12:2


Let us think of our intelligent plain man mentioned in chapter six coming for the first time to the reading of the Scriptures. He approaches the Bible without any previous knowledge of what it contains. He is wholly without prejudice; he has nothing to prove and nothing to defend.


Such a man will not have read long until his mind begins to observe certain truths standing out from the page. They...

For Reading and Meditation:     John 8:21-36

We saw yesterday that the phenomenon of catharsis comes about not simply through telling someone else our troubles, but when that other person is a warm, accepting and understanding individual. Psychologists believe the explanation for this to be the fact that the warm, accepting manner of the helper is so directly...

Here is an insight that has revolutionized and transformed many a life.

The duplication of "verily" or "truly" at the outset alerts us to expect something momentous. We will not be disappointed.

"I say unto you." The "I" is the Lord Jesus; we know that from verse 19. What we must also know is that when He says something, it is absolutely and invariably true. He cannot lie. He cannot deceive. He cannot be deceived. Nothing can be more sure and dependable than what He...

Twice in John 5:1-47 the Lord Jesus says that He can do nothing of Himself. In verse 19, He says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, the Son can do nothing of himself…" Then again in verse 30 He says, "I can of mine own self do nothing…"

When we first read these verses, we are apt to feel disappointed. They seem to say that Jesus was limited in His power, just like ourselves. But if He is God, as He claimed to be, He must be omnipotent. How...

John 5:17-27

The people were angry at Jesus because He had healed the helpless invalid on the Sabbath. They claimed that He had done wrong by the working on the seventh day. The answer of Jesus was, "My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working." In the history of the creation, we read that God set the example of Sabbath-keeping. After six days of...

The Father loves the Son and shows Him everything He is doing. (John 5:20 NLT)



Only those who are
absolutely one with God can take responsibilities for Him. Whatever we may call
ourselves, however great may be our activity for the Lord, God does not take
account of that. It is no use coming to Him and saying: “Now Lord, You know that
I am engaged in this work, and...

For us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ. § All should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him. § Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name. § Whoever offers praise glorifies Me; and to him who orders his conduct aright I will show the salvation of God.I looked,...

God … has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name. § Far...

He who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgement, but has passed from death to life. § I through the law died to the law that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.Because I live, you will live also. § I give them eternal life, and they shall...
