Christ in Isaiah
Introduction Who is this to whom the Old Testament from Genesis onwards so constantly points, raising in our hearts the very highest expectations, as it speaks of “the Woman’s Seed,” “Abraham’s Seed,” and “David’s Seed?” Who is this through whom all the world is to be blessed? What is His name? Has ... Read More

Christ in Isaiah - Part 2
The Wisdom of God The mere religionist looks for a sign, whilst the desire of the rationalist is for wisdom. The Sign which God gives is also His Wisdom. The Sign of Isaiah (I) is the Servant of Isaiah (II), and He is the wise Servant, “Behold, My Servant shall deal prudently” (Isa. 52:13). Christ i... Read More

Christ the Beloved
A great military leader returns from his campaigns on the battlefield to receive the well-earned rewards of victory. Many rejoice at his triumph, but all do not know him in the same way. The soldiers who fought under him speak of him as the general. The servants at his residence, who await his arriv... Read More

Christ, The Son over God’s House
Isaiah 53:10; Colossians 1:12-22 We have been encouraged, beloved brethren, during this series of meetings to recognise ourselves through God’s grace, as not only of the assembly as the body of Christ, but also as the House of God. There are things which belong to the House of God which we need to g... Read More

Complete in Him who is the Head
With strong and subtle energy various influences were ceaselessly at work to side-track the brethren in Christ at Colosse. Paul was aware of this, and though he had never seen them, he was guided by the Spirit to write showing them the all-sufficiency of Christ Jesus, warning them not to be diverted... Read More

Jottings from an address on John 10:9-12 A servant of Christ, who is now with the Lord, once remarked, “Abide in the love of Christ! That will constrain you to live to His glory as nothing else can.” Yes, the secret lies there, in continuing in His love, and that is vastly different from occupation ... Read More

Continue in the Son and the Father
John 2:24 There is some good reason for THE SON being named before THE FATHER in the above Scripture. The whole verse reads, “As for you, let that which ye have heard from the beginning abide in you: if that ye have heard from the beginning abides in you, ye also shall abide in the Son and in the Fa...

Correspondence—The Lord’s Table
On the principle of “Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the rest judge” (1 Cor. 14:29), we publish the following letters and notes, only remarking that all must be tested by the Scriptures. Beloved Brother, . . . As to 1 Corinthians 10 and 11. In the former we read of “the Lord’s cup” and ... Read More

Crowns
Perfect is the grace and divine is the skill with which the Holy Spirit seeks to quicken the footsteps of those who are redeemed by the precious blood of Christ. With heavenly wisdom He speaks of the crowns that await them, and cheers them onward and upward to where their Lord is already glorified, ... Read More

Desiring but not Progressing
“When one knows that he is saved and desires to get on; but has very little desire for prayer or the fellowship of saints, and makes no progress, which is a grief to him, what would you say is wrong? What would you advise?” Such an one as this question describes is in an unenviable state of soul, an... Read More

Divine Assurance
It is the way of the word of God to impart divine assurance to the hearts of those who believe on God’s beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. The knowledge of the Father has been relegated by some to those who are considered very advanced in the truth; and eternal life has been put away by them also, ... Read More

Divine Delight
Twice did the voice of God from the excellent glory express His Pleasure in His beloved Son, as a man upon the earth, He who revealed to us in full perfection the grace and truth and love of God, ever yielded a sweet savour to God our Father. The work of Christ for us upon the Cross—that great atoni... Read More

Divisions: Are they Justifiable?
Through the grace of God we have been set “in Christ” in the place where we reside. The Holy Spirit so addresses the saints of God, “in Christ Jesus who are in Philippi,” “in Christ . . . in Colosse,” etc. The surpassing power and love of God have so wrought that, no longer afar off, we have become ...

Eternal Life and Eternal Relationship
It is an inestimable privilege to be before God in the conscious enjoyment of eternal life, and of the eternal relationship connected with that life. No failure on the part of men need hinder those who belong to the Son of God from having the abiding blessedness of this. That this is so is evident f... Read More

Faith” and “The Faith”
From the days of Abel right on to the present time there have been men of faith, but it was not till Christ came that the faith was “delivered to the saints.” Previous to that, we are told, they were “kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed” (Gal. 3:23). We are... Read More

Fear Not!
“Fear not! Fear not!” the voice divine To storm-tossed rowers clearly calls! The word of cheer, like melody Sounds sweetly o’er the angry sea. As music on the ear it falls. “Be of good courage! It is I! Be not afraid!” The Saviour says; He sees the darkening of the deep, His eyes are laden not with ... Read More

Fear Ye Not
After their father’s death Joseph’s brethren lost their peace, and fear seized upon them. They judged Joseph according to the thoughts of their own hearts, thinking that, after all, he would requite them for the evil they had done unto him. Again Joseph wept when they came confessing their sin to hi... Read More

Fountains of Living Water
“With Thee is the Fountain of Life” It has been said, “When the woman of the fourth chapter of John came to Jesus, she came to the well: and when she came to the well she came to Jesus.” The Living one and “the Fountain” (N.Tr.) are together. The Lord spake to her of the living water which He gives;... Read More

From Wretchedness to Rejoicing
How often the daily records speak of a Judge justly sentencing some guilty wretch to the punishment he deserves; but where is to be found the record of a Judge who arranged for a condemned man’s punishment to be borne by another and then took him, a new man, to his happy home as one of his own famil...

H.J. Vine ( - )
H.J. Vine was involved in the early Plymouth Brethren movement. The Plymouth Brethren are a conservative, low church, nonconformist, Evangelical Christian movement whose history can be traced to Dublin, Ireland in the late 1820s, originating from Anglicanism.Among other beliefs, the group emphasizes sola scriptura, the belief that the Bible is the supreme authority for church doctrine and practice over and above "the [mere] tradition of men" (Mark 7:8). Brethren generally see themselves, not as a denomination, but as a network (or even as a collection of overlapping networks) of like-minded independent churches.
