Here we have another instance of how the greatest truths are brought into connection with commonplace subjects. Here is a question, whether a woman is to have a covering on or not. The whole ordering of God is brought in to say whether a woman is to wear a cap on her head (v. 3-16). It was the custo... Lee mas

The Bible Herald, 1879, pp. 11-18. Deliverance has been much confused with the pardon of sins. Two things are united as to the Christian position — the resurrection, and the position of the Lord in the glory where He is. He is a man beyond death, beyond judgment, beyond sin, and beyond the power of ... Lee mas

I would just pick up a little point or two. And first how can we get rid of this power of self? The end of Galatians 2 will introduce what I mean. I do not take up now the question of righteousness by the law, but the question of the power of sin and self, which is sin really. Life is here made depe... Lee mas

Aaron appears with a bullock for himself and for his house, and then with an offering for the people. Israel, strictly speaking, were represented by the goats.

The door of the cross is shut on all that man in the flesh is, and the new thing is introduced in... Lee mas

<24035E> 327 The Gospel by Mark relates very briefly the circumstances of the Lord's condemnation: this is an important fact. As soon as He has been rejected by the Jews, Mark speaks of that which took place before Pilate, to relate again that which is necessary, and to shew that the Lord is condemn... Lee mas

There are two great subjects in Scripture (when once the great thing salvation is settled,) in the ways of God, namely, the government of this world and the sovereign grace that gives people a place according to God's counsels: the Jews are the centre of the one, and the Church of the other, after C...

We just touched on chapter 4 without saying anything of the stones taken out of Jordan. Ques. Some remark was made about the priests' feet being necessarily dipped in first? They had to go into the place of death; and the moment Christ touched the power of death, it was broken. The priests continued... Lee mas

READING 1 Passing by the numbering of the people and the redemption of the firstborn, we might begin with the laws and appointments of chapter 5; they were to keep the camp holy - put out the leper, and so on - "that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell." God's dwelling with the... Lee mas
