Free Grace Broadcaster - Issue 225 - The Work of Christ
by John Flavel
Another quality eBook from Chapel Library. This issue of the Free Grace Broadcaster celebrates the work of Christ in creation, providence, and redemption. Articles include:
No Doctrine More Excellent, John Flavel(c.1630-1691): of all the knowledge that human beings may possess, nothing compares to the excellence of the doctrine of Jesus Christ’s redemptive work.
Christ and God’s Eternal Purpose, Isaac Ambrose(1604-1664): an introduction to God’s great, eternal decree to save His beloved people from their sins.
Christ the Mediator, William S. Plumer(1802-1880): an overview of Christ’s great role as Prophet, Priest, and King in God’s eternal plan of salvation.
Christ the Prophet, John Gill(1697-1771): human beings are dead in trespasses and sin, and they do not understand the ways of God; the Father sent His Son Jesus to be the Prophet to teach them the way of salvation.
Christ the Priest, Thomas Watson(c.1620-1686): sinners have no acceptable sacrifice for their sin before God; Jesus offered Himself as a sin-bearing substitute to reconcile sinners to God and to make intercession for them.
Christ Ascended and Exalted, William S. Plumer(1802-1880): following His death, Jesus ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God. There He applies the merits of saving work to His eternally loved people.
Christ the Intercessor, Wilhelmus à Brakel(1635-1711): as the great High Priest, seated in glory, Jesus continually intercedes on behalf of His people.
Christ the King, John Flavel(c.1630-1691): as King of kings, the resurrected and exalted Christ governs His beloved people, applying to their souls what He has revealed as Prophet and what He has purchased as Priest.
Christ and His Kingdom, A. A. Hodge(1823-1886): Christ rules in His great Kingdom of power, of grace, and of glory, working all things for good in the lives of His blood-bought people.
Christ Forevermore, Octavius Winslow(1808-1878): a brief meditation that reveals why all of Christ’s work is precious and crucial to the dying soul.

John Flavel (1628 - 1691)
Was an English Presbyterian clergyman, puritan, and author. Flavel, the eldest son of the Rev. Richard Flavel, described as ‘a painful and eminent minister,’ who was incumbent successively of Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, Hasler and Willersey, Gloucestershire (from which last living he was ejected in 1662), was born in or about 1630 at Bromsgrove.He was ejected from his living by the passing of the Act of Uniformity in 1662, but continued to preach and administer the sacraments privately till the Five Mile Act of 1665, when he retired to Slapton, 5 miles away. He then lived for a time in London, but returned to Dartmouth, where he labored till his death in 1691. He was married four times. He was a vigorous and voluminous writer, and not without a play of fine fancy. His principal works are his Navigation Spiritualized (1671); The Fountain of Life, in forty-two Sermons (1672); The Method of Grace (1680); Pneumatologia, a Treatise on the Soul of Man (1698); A Token for Mourners; Husbandry Spiritualized (1699).
John Flavel was an English Presbyterian clergyman. Flavel was born at Bromsgrove, Worcestershire and studied at Oxford. A Presbyterian, held livings at Diptford (in Devon) and Dartmouth. He was ejected from the latter as a result of the Great Ejection of 1662; however, he continued to preach there secretly. After the Declaration of Indulgence 1687, became a minister of a Nonconformist Church there.
He was a prolific and popular author. Among his works are The Mystery of Providence (1678), Husbandry Spiritualised (1669) and Navigation Spiritualised (1671), The Seamon's Companion (1676), titles which suggest some of his characteristics as a writer.
He died at Exeter, Devonshire, on 26 June 1691. Flavel is commemorated in the name of Flavel Road on Bromsgrove's Charford Estate.
John Flavel (or Flavell) was born in 1628 in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire. He was the son of Richard Flavel, a minister who died of the plague in 1665 while in prison for nonconformity. John Flavel was educated by his father in the ways of religion, then "plied his studies hard" as a commoner at University College, Oxford. In 1650, he was ordained by the presbytery at Salisbury. He settled in Diptford, where he honed his numerous gifts.
He married Joan Randall, a godly woman, who died while giving birth to their first child in 1655. The baby died as well. After a year of mourning, Flavel married Elizabeth Stapell and was again blessed with a close, God-fearing marriage, as well as children.
In 1656, Flavel accepted a call to be minister in the thriving seaport of Dartmouth. He earned a smaller income there, but his work was more profitable; many were converted. One of his parishioners wrote of Flavel, "I could say much, though not enough of the excellency of his preaching; of his seasonable, suitable, and spiritual matter; of his plain expositions of Scripture; his talking method, his genuine and natural deductions, his convincing arguments, his clear and powerful demonstrations, his heart-searching applications, and his comfortable supports to those that were afflicted in conscience. In short, that person must have a very soft head, or a very hard heart, or both, that could sit under his ministry unaffected."
