Christ and His Reconciliation Colossians 1

John Nelson DarbyThere are two ways in which we may approach the gospel of the grace of God: firstly, the conscience convicted, and seeing how God has met the condition of man, as in Romans 1-3; and, secondly, the counsels of God from which it all flows. We may trace Him up from the poor sinner in his need, or we ma... Lee mas

Colossians 1 Rochdale

John Nelson DarbyThe epistle to the Colossians was written more expressly to Gentiles; that to the Ephesians was, too, but Colossians exclusively so. The saint is here viewed as risen, but still on earth, and his hope is laid up for him in heaven; that gives a character to the epistle. And inasmuch as he is on earth... Lee mas

Notes of a Reading on Colossians 1 (1879)

John Nelson DarbyThe word "Lord" is often used by people in a vague way; but here (v. 3) we find those names of God and of Christ which represent relations. If we say "Father," we speak as children; if we say "Lord," we speak as servants of the Lord Jesus. The title Lord applies to Christ as Man in the glory. "What ... Lee mas

Notes of the Cheltenham meeting

John Nelson DarbyJohn 17 It is a mistake to take this chapter as intercessional: intercession is one element in it, but that is not the object. In the previous chapters we get the Spirit of God as the operating power. From ch. 13 you have the Lord on the earth, or else this testimony concerning Him - but rejected. A... Lee mas

Remarks on Failure

John Nelson DarbyGalatians The title of this paper was given by the Editor: G. V. Wigram. The leading subject of the Epistle to the Galatians, as is manifest, is the correction by God's Spirit, of the first form of error by which the doctrine of Christ began to be corrupted; and, it may be observed, there is a sever...

The Eternal Sonship of Christ

John Nelson DarbyThough I have ever held this verse, to say the least, to be very doubtful from the course of the meaning, it is not to discuss this at present I write, but another point of importance - the use of the term Son. There are those who, objecting to the term Son as applied to the divinity of our Lord, st... Lee mas

Thoughts on Hebrews

John Nelson DarbyIt is quite evident how the mysterious character of Messiah is brought out in the beginning of Hebrews, with details therefrom afterwards. It connects at the end of its subject no doubt with the Jews, but only at its end as a complementary part bringing in the millennium. But it is not the Church, b... Lee mas
