galatians-2:20-21

Reading: “He that descended is the same also that ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things” Ephesians 4:10. We have been seeking already to see that into that last clause of a parenthesis the Lord’s servant has packed the mighty fulness of his apprehension of Christ. We have... Read More

With the expanding and strengthening of this ministry there is an increasing enquiry and request for some concise statement as to its spiritual history and nature. This need seems also to be accentuated by a growing misunderstanding and misrepresentation of it. Under considerable pressure, therefore... Read More

"...but God, being rich in mercy, for HIS GREAT LOVE wherewith he loved us..." In our previous meditation, we were seeking to point out that, although this whole vast universe has behind it a mind, a reason, a design, a plan, a will, a fiat, yet back of all that there is a heart, and that means love...

We now pass into the letter to the Galatians, where we actually have the phrase which is basic to this consideration - "the gospel which I preach". The phrase is found in the second chapter and the second verse, and in another form in chapter one, verse eleven - "the gospel which was preached by me"... Read More

eading: Romans 6. “What we in glory soon shall be It doth not yet appear; But when our blessed Lord we see We shall His image bear.” [“Behold, What Love” by M.S. Sullivan] The words upon which we have based our meditations correspond with those words. “The earnest expectation of the creation waiteth... Read More

Reading: Isaiah 61:1–62:1a. We come now to yet a further aspect of this so many-sided fruit of the Cross of the Lord Jesus. We remember that the first three verses of this sixty-first chapter of Isaiah, so full, were taken up by our Lord Jesus Himself. After His baptism the heavens were opened, and ... Read More
