Things Not Shaken
It is a long way from Boston to Chicago, especially in hot weather. There is nothing in the world that would bring me this long distance and three nights on a sleeper except a conference of such importance as this,—not even the Republican Convention. This is infinitely more important than that. The Kaiser’s throne is being sold for old junk, and he sits on a sawbuck. Was there ever such a sudden, rapid, startling, marvelous, unbelievable transformation as that? If half a dozen years ago any man had ventured to prophesy that this would be the fact today, his sanity … Read More >

Christ And Him Crucified
“I (am) determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.” —1 Corinthians 2:2 Such was Paul’s holy purpose. He was determined that Jesus Christ in the great purpose of His incarnation, which was to give His life a ransom for many, should be the subject of his preaching and his living. The ideal character for Earth and heaven, for time and eternity, is “Jesus Christ and Him crucified.” Jesus Christ is the Truth, and truth is apt to defend itself. It has many enemies and must stand against all attacks, but “Jesus Christ and … Read More >

The Resurrection Of Christ
What a happy message we have, telling about our risen Lord! Every other great religious leader is dead. Every other one who formed a religion is dead. Every other one who framed a new faith is dead. Our Lord is risen! As those sorrowing friends approached the tomb, that first Easter morning, they found the stone rolled away and an angel was there who seemed to know a great deal about their business. The angel said, “You seek Jesus.” How did he know whom they were seeking, how did he know what was in their hearts? I wonder whether he … Read More >

Three Crosses
Message preached by Rev. Aubrey P. White at The Moody Church on Sunday, June 7, 1953. “And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.”—Luke 23:33 We may well ask the question, Why are there three crosses on Calvary? Crucifixion was a common thing in that early day. Darius crucified 300 at one time, and in Tyre there is the record of 2,000 being put to death by crucifixion at one time. Here we have 3 crosses—not 5 or … Read More >

The Offense Of The Cross
“Christianity is the only major religion to have as its central event the humiliation of its God.” So writes Buce Shelly in the opening line of his book, Church History in Plain Language. The humiliation of God! One indication that we do not understand the cross today is that it’s difficult to find anyone who says anything against it. Crosses are worn as pendants by athletes and rock stars; it has become a symbol of general goodwill and acceptance. The cross is seen as simply an ancient symbol that can be easily combined with an undefined spirituality or, for … Read More >

The Man Christ Jesus
“Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust. O my soul, thou hast said unto the LORD, Thou art my Lord: my goodness extendeth not to thee; but to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be multiplied that hasten after another god: their drink offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in … Read More >

Purpose Glorified
“Therefore came I forth.” —Mark 1:38 “Rising up a great while before day, he went out and there prayed.” This is an eloquent introduction to an ennobling example. Of course, faith must see in Christ more than an example, but one’s experience will suffer irreparably if one does not hear Him say, “Go thou and do likewise.” Such word portraits as the one before us are designed for display in the art gallery of our souls, there to produce a cherished and challenging stimulant for life on a higher plane. They are glimpses of grandeur which exhilarate our spirits and … Read More >

The Incarnation
The Cross: The Glory Of The Incarnation The tragedy of the crucifixion is one thing, the glory of the cross is quite another. In its tragedy, it is repulsive. In its deeper meaning, it is most attractive. There is a big monument on Bunker Hill that was built—not to the tragedy, but to a deeper feeling that we call patriotism. There were men there who were willing to die for what they believed to be right, and this monument was erected to their memory, and so the crucifixion of our Lord was one of the most repulsive things this world … Read More >

The First Gospel Message
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” —Genesis 3:15 Here is the first Gospel message in history. Of all the golden tongued evangelists of all time, God is the first to tell of a Redeemer. And for the telling, He waits not an hour after sin has, through Satan’s lie, made moral wreck of the creatures of His hand. Moreover, it is told in one breath with the denunciation of judgment upon Satan, showing that judgment precedes salvation. God … Read More >

The Gentleness Of Greatness
“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” —Philippians 2:5–8 I find that the commentators and expositors differ quite radically as to the deepest import of the wonderful statement of our text and I am … Read More >
