Ascension And Glorifying Of The Lord Jesus

T.

Christ Crucified

T. Austin-SparksWhen we were thinking about this matter in its wider range of the second man, the last Adam, our key phrase from Scripture was 1 Cor. 15:45 - "The last Adam became a life-giving Spirit." Then we proceeded to be occupied with the uniqueness of the Son of Man. We added to that 2 Cor. 5:16 - "Wherefore... Read More

Obedience to the Word of God

T. Austin-SparksThese messages and this ministry are based upon a three-fold supposition, or assumption: 1. That you have a very real concern to know the will of God. 2. That you are quite prepared to consider anything that may be a help to you in that direction. 3. That you are of a mind to obey any light that the... Read More

The Foundation of All - the Lamb of God

T. Austin-SparksLet me remind you of the all-governing truth which we are considering - that is, what God is doing in this dispensation in which we live. We must be completely clear as to what it is that God is particularly concerned with at this time in the world's history, and, therefore, what it is that we who a... Read More

The Immense Significance of the Christian Life

T. Austin-SparksThere are many misconceptions as to what the Christian life really is. I shall, however, not say very much about this negative side - that is, as to that which is either mistaken, confused or inadequate. The best way of dealing with all such difficulties is to take the positive line, by seeking to p... Read More

The Spirit of Christ's Character

T. Austin-Sparks"John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit not many days hence" (Acts 1:5). "They were all filled with the Holy Spirit" (Acts 2:4). "There is one body, and one Spirit... one Lord, one faith, one baptism" (Ephesians 4:4). The Holy Spirit is, of course, the Spirit of... Read More

The Troubled Heart

T. Austin-SparksIt is important, for obtaining the full value of the content of this chapter, that we recognize that the opening words throw back to and link up with what has preceded. Really, the narrative ought not to be broken into at this point. The link should be with verses 33-35 of chapter 13. There the Lord... Read More

"Clear as Crystal"

T. Austin-Sparks"...and he that sat was to look upon like a jasper stone and a sardius" (Revelation 4:3). "Having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were jasper stone, clear as crystal... And the building of the wall thereof was jasper: and the city was pure gold, like unto pure ... Read More
