Consider Jesus� in the Elevation of Rank
"King of kings, and Lord of lords." -Revelation 19:16 The twofold nature of Jesus brought Him into the closest personal relation to, and sympathy with, the two great divisions of the race--the Commonalty and the Nobility--and thus He becomes a proper subject of instructive study to both. We have con... Read More

Consider Jesus� in the Exercise of Influence
"Be followers of me, even as I am of Christ." -1 Cor. 11:1 INFLUENCE is the subject which these words suggest for our present meditation--the influence of Christ reflected in the influence of the Christian.

Consider Jesus� in the Straitness of Poverty
"He became poor." -2 Cor. 8:9 The wealth of Jesus, of which we have already spoken, was essential; His poverty, of which we are now to speak, was willingly assumed. "He became poor."

Consider Jesus� Our Paymaster
