luke-2:35-38

Introduction. It is the Moral Glory, or, as we speak, the character of the Lord Jesus, on which I meditate in these pages. All went up to God as a sacrifice of sweet savour. Every expression of Himself in every measure, however small, and in whatever relationship it was rendered, was incense. In His... Read More

Eph. 6: 15, 16; Luke 2: 34, 35. No sooner does Mary know the sweetness of having this Babe, than it is told her, while she might well count herself blessed, "A sword shall pierce through thy own soul also."

A meditation on the Lord Jesus Christ, in His varied characters in the four Gospels. I have now passed the time of my meditations on the four Evangelists, noticing the different service committed to each of them by the Spirit of God, in presenting to us the Lord Jesus.

No doubt by praying we learn to pray, and the more we pray the oftener we can pray, and the better we can pray. He who prays in fits and starts is neve... Read More

JUST as we find that in certain circles people who are reputed pious are apt to be regarded with suspicion, so it would seem that any writings which claim Divine authority or sanction inevitably awaken distrust. But if the evangelists could gain the same fair hearing which profane historians command... Read More

'Thy kingdom come.' Matt 6: 10. A soul truly devoted to God, joins heartily in this petition, adveniat regnum tuum, thy kingdom come.' In these words it is implied that God is a king, for he who has a kingdom, can be no less than a king. God is the King of all the earth.' Psa 47: 7. He is a King upo... Read More
