Why Christ Came By Paris Reidhead* As we think of the birth of the Lord Jesus, we must consider that He came to die, and to be raised again, and to ascend into Heaven, and come back the second time. And we who rejoice at His birth the first time are the ones that are longing for His return the secon... consulte Mais informação

THE DEATH OF CHRIST § 19 ALL these things the Saviour thought fit to do, so that, recognising His bodily acts as works of God, men who were blind to His presence in creation might regain knowledge of the Father. For, as I said before, who that saw His authority over evil spirits and their response t... consulte Mais informação

He was but a blind beggar man, a recipient of passing charity, useless in the world, nameless, pitiful, disinherited. But the Lord of glory passing by knows all about this man - his destiny as well as his origin - the purpose of his creation. Why was he born blind? His own fault?

It is a doubtful exegesis which teaches that Nicodemus came to Jesus by night because of fear of the Jewish Council (of which he was a member). His interview with Christ took place too early in the ministry of the Saviour for that. John the Baptist was not yet cast into prison. The envy and the enmi... consulte Mais informação

Acts II. 22 You men of Israel, hear these my words. [He men of Israel]: it is not for flattery that he uses this term; but, as he has borne hard upon them, he relaxes a little, and puts them in mind of their great ancestor [Israel]. Here again he begins with an introduction, that they may not become... consulte Mais informação

Jesus lifted up His eyes, and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me; and I knew that You hear Me always, but because of the people which stand by, I said it. And what follows. 1. What I have often said, I will now say, that Christ looks not so much to His own honor as to our salvation; no... consulte Mais informação

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? Howbeit we know this man whence he is. 1. Nothing is placed in the Holy Scriptures without a reason, for they... consulte Mais informação
