Christ Prayeth for the Apostles and All Believers

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.

5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.

6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.

9 I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them.

11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we [are].

12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. | John 17: 1-12

Concerning the Manner of the Resurrection

“The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Only Two Religions in the World

There are, really, only two religions in the world.

One of Cain and the other of Abel.
One is Ishmael and the other is Isaac.
One of Esau and the other of Jacob.
One of law and the other of promise.
One of Mount Sinai and the other of Mount Calvary.

One condemns, the other finds no fault.
One leads to bondage, the other to freedom.
One tendeth to death, the other to life.
One of weakness, the other of power.
One of merit, the other of mercy.
One of the weakness of the letter, the other of the power of the Spirit.

Not a Drop of The Lord’s Blood Was Shed in Vain

However men may wrestle and quibble with the Scriptures, one thing is certain: The Atonement is no failure!

God will not allow that precious and costly sacrifice to fail in accomplishing completely, that which it was designed to effect.

Not a drop of that Holy Blood was shed in vain.

In the last great day there shall stand forth no disappointed and defeated Savior, but One Who “shall see of the travail of His soul and shall be satisfied.”

Christ is my Redeemer and my Righteousness

Although I am a sinner, yet I despair not; for Christ, who is my Redeemer and my righteousness, liveth.

In Him I have no sin, no fear, no sting of conscience, and no fear of judgment; for in Him there is no condemnation.

I am indeed a sinner as touching this present life; but I have a righteousness of God which is above this life, who is Christ my Lord.

In Him I rejoice!

The Comfort Of Christ

“Wherefore comfort one another with these words.” | 1 Thessalonians 4: 18

The comfort that our God has given to us within the pages of His Word is indescribable.

For every low and broken child of God who needs it, there is an endless supply of mercy in the blood of Christ; an endless supply of grace in the gift of Christ; an endless supply of righteousness in the work of Christ; an endless supply of satisfaction in the offering of Christ; and an endless supply of appeasement in the intercession of Christ.

The more that we see of our sin, the more comfort we find in the Savior of sinners.

The more we see of our insufficiency, the more comfort we find in His ALL sufficiency.

The more we see of our need, the more comfort we find in the fullness of His supply.

When we’re sad, He cheers us. When we’re empty, He fills us. When we’re far, He draws us back near to Him.

Oh, the comfort that we have in the Holy Word that tells us of our God and Savior, Redeemer and Friend, Christ Jesus our Lord. Brethren, let’s comfort one another with these words.

I Will Never Leave Thee Nor Forsake Thee

“Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” | Hebrews 13: 5

Children of God often find themselves in distress and sorrow in this world and in uncertainty about the happenings of this world.

So we need to be reminded often that our comfort and confidence comes from the certainty of salvation in Christ and His constant presence with His people.

His precious promise to never leave nor forsake His people comforts our heart in the worst sorrow and the greatest uncertainty about the things of this world.

Did Christ Die For Everybody?

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” ~ 2 Corinthians 5: 17

There is a chorus that we love to sing which says:

“Did you hear what the Lord Jesus said to me? They’re all taken away, away! Thy sins are pardoned, and you are free. They’re all taken away!”

With that good news declaration being proclaimed to sinners in the word of God, the apostle Paul said: “Forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3: 13,14)

As we leave one year and enter into a new year, may this thought bring great joy to our hearts: In the Lord Jesus Christ our old, dark past has been dealt with and put away. It is over! And the only thing that awaits us ahead is the new light of a sinless eternity with Christ! He is our “mark”; let’s press toward Him!

Exhortation to Faith, Patience, and Godliness

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

~ Hebrews 12: 1-2
