The third section of our diagram deals with the "so great salvation" (Heb. 2:3); a phrase which at once sets forth its comprehensiveness and inclusiveness. Under that term we gather the various words which represent its many-sidedness: Substitution; Representation; Redemption; Justification; Reconci... Read More
Reading: Deuteronomy 30.11-20; Hebrews 2.14-15; Revelation 1.18; Philippians 3.10. The matter which we now have before us is the relationship of the Cross to the manifesting of life. It is very important for us to be clear as to what that relationship is. One thing is patent, and that is that life, ... Read More
Reading: Num. 24:3-4; Mark 10:46, 51-52; 8:23-25; John 9:1, 7, 25; Eph. 1:17-19; Rev. 3:17; Acts 26:17-18. At the outset of our previous meditation we were speaking of the root-malady of our time, which is spiritual blindness. We took those passages which we have read and noted how they, in a very g...

There are three short series of passages of Scripture in connection with each of these to which I would direct you at the outset. The Christ Col. 1:13-18; Heb. 2:5-10,16; Eph. 1:22; 4:10. The Church Eph. 1:22; 2:14-16; 3:20-21. The Antichrist 1 John 2:18-22; 4:2-3; 2 Thess. 2:3-10. There is a prelim... Read More
Reading: Nehemiah 5:2-6; Luke 4:14-21; II Kings 4:1-4. In these messages we are allowing Nehemiah, that great servant of the Lord in the old dispensation, to illustrate for us, and to lead us in relation to, the recovering of the Lord's testimony in fullness. Nehemiah said that he was "doing a great... Read More
"That in my dying flesh the life whereby Jesus conquered death might show forth its power" (2 Cor. 4:11 - Conybeare). Let it be immediately understood that, while resurrection as a whole may be here mentioned and ranged, it is not the future resurrection of the body but the immediate SPIRITUAL signi... Read More
While we wait upon Thee [on Thee, Lord, we wait] and while we do need Thee to bless us and ask Thee to bless us while we wait on Thee, we would rise even higher and say, Lord, satisfy Thyself. Get to Thyself the reward of Thy sufferings, the travail of Thy soul. Lord, find Thine Own Satisfaction. Ou... Read More
"For surely it is not angels He helps, but Abraham's descendants." Hebrews 2:16 Stand still, and admire and wonder at the love of Jesus Christ to poor sinners—that He should rather die for us, than the fallen angels! They were creatures of a more noble extract, and in all probability might have brou... Read More
“Help, Lord; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” (Psa. 12:1) Faithful people are an endangered species; they are rapidly vanishing from the human race. If David mourned their demise in his day, we often wonder how he would feel if he lived today. When we... Read More
I'm often asked about the most beautiful places I've seen on earth. I have a long list of those, but at the top would be Antarctica and then Greenland in the Arctic. The beauty is stunning and beyond words to express. I have been down to Antarctica at different places twice carrying the cross. What ... Read More
