The Birth of John the Baptist

Luke 1:57-80

It is a stupendous moment when a great man is born. The birth of few men through the centuries has meant more to the world than John the Baptist's. Jesus said of him, that of all born of woman there was none greater (see Luke 7:28). The beloved disciple thus describes his coming into the world: "There was a man sent from God, whose name was John" (

The Crucifixion

Matthew 27:33-50

The story of the crucifixion has the most sacred and tender interest for everyone who loves Jesus Christ. It is not merely an account of the tragic death of a good man - He who was crucified was the world's Redeemer, our Redeemer, suffering for us! Some of the old preachers used to say that our sins drove the nails in the hands and feet of Jesus. He died for...

Christ the Life and Light of Men

John 1:1-18

The first three Gospels begin on the earth ; the fourth Gospel begins back in eternity. There are no sublimer words in all language than the first words in John's prologue. They give us a glimpse of the eternal past and show us the Word existing then. In the beginning, before anything else was - He was. Genesis...

Alone - yet Not Alone

John 16:32

"But a time is coming, and has come, when you will be scattered, each to his own home. You will leave me all alone. Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me."

The loneliness of Jesus while in this world was one of the most pathetic elements of His experience. There are two kinds of loneliness.

One is, when a person is away from all human presences. A man who had been shipwrecked and...

The Divine Consciousness

I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly. (John 10:10 ISV)

Remember – "In Him
was life" (John 1:4). Is He different in nature from other men? Everyone can
see that He is different from other men in His very nature, and the difference
is made by this Life that is in Him. This Life brings with it a new and
different consciousness....

Boundless Heavenly Resources

Of His fullness we have all received, and grace for
grace. (John 1:16)

It is a grand thing and a
source of tremendous strength to come to the same position as that of Christ as
Man, where we know that boundless heavenly resources are available. I think we
only come there progressively, and not all at once. We only come there by the
way of discipline - discipline...

The Church According to Christ (part 1)

To those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God – children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will,
but born of God. (John 1:12,13 NIV)

What, in the thought of God do Christians exist for? What does the Church
exist for? There is only one answer. The
existence and the function is to be an...
