Before Jesus made his deliberate choice of twelve men he spent the night with his Father. All the great events in his life find him or leave him in prayer. It is the natural expression of the dedication of one whose meat and drink was to do the will of Him who sent him, whose […]
God’s love in Christ, in its full measure, is offered not to those merely who are believing enough, penitent enough, reformed enough; it is offered to all those who will cast themselves on God, be it only with faith “as a grain of mustard seed”. And to anticipate a common objection – far from inducing […]
The Gospel of Mark opens with the words: “The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God”, but we do not notice the concentrated wonder of the last three words, for we have heard them too often. Why does it not strike us as astounding that God should have a Son? It […]
David saw that the Son of God would not be allowed by the kings of the earth and their partisans to enter peaceably upon the possession of his throne; in fact they would do their best to prevent it. In his last words (2 Samuel 23) he styles them “a thornbush to be thrust away […]
Paul’s letter to the Romans is a most meaningful letter for its 16 chapters cover the things that those who desire to truly believe in and follow Christ should understand. Paul is writing to those “called to be saints” (verse 7). Do you feel – in your heart – that this includes you? Prophesies through […]
Today’s thought “Overcome evil with good” (August 3) Chapter 12 of Paul’s letter to the Romans abounds with challenging principles – these are a wonderful guide to our lives. The chapter is, in a sense, summarised by its final words, that followers of Jesus should “overcome evil with good”. Actually, this largely completes Paul’s spiritual […]
God’s judgements are necessary surgical operations. His mercy is over all His works; and this mercy falls first on Israel. A divine transformation is wrought upon the people whose stony-heartedness has become proverbial, and whose whole history is a testimony of waywardness. The few great and godly men that the nation has produced, among whom […]
There is no change of purpose with the divine “potter”, but there is a change of mind and disposition towards the “clay lumps”, individual and national, according as they change their mind and disposition towards the “potter”. This is the apostolic argument in the epistle to the Romans (chapter 9), and satisfactorily explains the existence […]
Today’s thought “If God be for us” (July 31) Today we read two of the most meaningful chapters in the Bible for those who truly sense they are “called to be saints” (Romans 1:7). They are a sequel to yesterday’s chapters – Romans 5 & 6 – that challenge believers that they, “having been set […]
Today’s thought “We rejoice in hope” (July 30) Romans 5 and 6 need to be read and digested slowly – like rich food! Paul proclaims that believers “having been justified by faith … have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ … have also obtained access by faith in to this grace in which […]
