Through War Clouds To God
“Until the day dawn and the day star arise in your hearts.” The above phrase is taken from 2 Peter 1: 19, and it is to this phrase that we will direct our attention; but to get the proper setting, let me quote the entire verse: “We have a more sure word of prophecy, whereunto ye do well to take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts.” The war has not only brought dark clouds of heart sorrow, but clouds of doubt to men’s … Read More >

The Saviour's Touch
The first word picture I want to consider is found in Luke, chapter, 7, reading from verse 11. I want to talk to you on the Saviour’s touch, the touch of the hand of Jesus, that wonderful hand that brought blessing to everyone upon whom it was laid. Here we read: “And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain; and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only son … Read More >

Comments on 2 Peter 1
“Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord.” Sometimes God adds, and sometimes He multiplies. Grace and peace are always multiplied. “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness.” “Hath given unto us”—we do not have to work for them. “through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and … Read More >

Christ As Creator
We have often been reminded that the four Gospel accounts, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John present four different aspects of the character and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ. In Matthew, which was written with special emphasis for the Jew, He is seen as the King of Israel. The genealogy of the first Gospel takes us to David and Abraham to prove His right to the throne. In Mark’s Gospel there is no genealogy as there Christ is set forth as the Servant of Jehovah. A servant would have no genealogy! “Straightway, immediately, forthwith” and “anon” are the words that … Read More >

The Virgin Birth Of Christ
“And, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.”—Matthew 2:9 The virgin’s child; the Father’s Only Begotten Son: Immanuel! God with us! Let all the people clap their hands and shout for joy! Oh, the depths of meaning to mankind in that God-given name Immanuel! Heaven and Earth come together at His advent. An angel from the throne of God, suddenly coming upon the lowly shepherds at night, announces this stupendous event, while the light of God shines round about them. No wonder they were … Read More >

The Baptism Of Jesus
“Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, Pontius Pilate being governor of Judaea, and Herod being tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip tetrarch of Ituraea and of the region of Trachonitis, and Lysanias the tetrarch of Abilene, Annas and Caiaphas being the high priests, the word of God came unto John the son of Zacharias in the wilderness. And he came into all the country about Jordan, preaching the baptism of repentance for the remission of sins; As it is written in the book of the words of Esaias the prophet, saying, The voice of … Read More >

How A Little Village Became Famous
It was not because Rachel, the beloved wife of Jacob, died and was buried there (Genesis 35:19) and (Genesis 48:7). It was not because, with eleven other cities, it fell to the lot of the tribe of Zebulun when Joshua divided the land of Canaan among the children of Israel (Joshua 19:15). It was not because of Ibzan, the tenth of the Judges of Israel hailed from this little town (Judges 12:8), and that later he was buried there (Judges 12:10). Nor was it because, in the book of Ruth, it was the town of Elimelech, to which Naomi and … Read More >

Peace Paid For
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.” —1 Thessalonians 5:23 “And the very God of peace”—He is the Lord of hosts, He is the God of creation, He is the God of love; and this verse says that He is the “very God of peace.” There is no wrangle in heaven, Hallelujah. There is no misunderstanding in heaven, there is no friction in heaven—He is the very God of peace. As surely as when there is … Read More >

The Secret Of Christian Experience
Preached at the Sunday Morning Service of The Moody Church on February 8, 1953. What is real, genuine Christian experience? I might take an example from any chapter of the book of Philippians which would give us the secret of Christian experience. I could take chapter 1, verses 20 and 21: “So now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” I know we generally quote that as “for me to live is Christ,” but it is really, “for me … Read More >

The Purpose Of Bethlehem
Sermon preached by Pastor Alan Redpath in The Moody Church on Sunday morning, December 22, 1957. “But when the fulness of time was come, God sent forth his Son, born of a woman, born under the law that he might redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons.”—Galatians 4:4–5 These verses come right in the center of a tremendous argument which Paul was bringing to the Christians in Galatia. Perhaps you remember that he was so deeply concerned for them because even though they were believers, they were in great danger of being … Read More >
