john-1:29

John 9, 10. In John 8 we get the development of part of the truth of Christ referred to in John 1, as the One who is the Light of the world, because in Him was life. In John 9 we get another thing connected with the same truth. Now He is the One who not only has eternal life and is light, but who al... Read More

Faith should be energetic, active: I am not to be merely musing about the glory; but the certainty of Christ's having apprehended me for it, is to set me looking right forward, pressing onward to the goal. What is feeling for Christ, if it does not separate the heart from the world? It is a differen... Read More

God makes everything of the Lord Jesus Christ, and nothing of the creature. In the work of the Lord Jesus on the cross, He was everything.

Further study and experience have only confirmed what was first... Read More

John 1:29-39 The question before us is "Master, where dwellest Thou?" The most important question for the sinner surely is, "What must I do to be saved?" If these lines should come before anyone who is still unsaved, this should be his first question. A saint, however, cannot have a more vital inqui... Read More

The Apostle Paul is the greatest teacher of the Christian Church. True, he has not always been fully understood. The legalism that he combatted during his lifetime soon established itself among his converts, and finally celebrated a triumph in the formation of the Catholic Church. The keen edge of h...

"Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" -John 1: 29. IF ever-Christian believers needed to echo and re-echo these words of John the Baptist, they do today. We are not fond of flinging aspersions; yet we cannot help openly lamenting that many so-called Christian pulpits and chur... Read More
