Fading Into The Background
He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30 D.L. MOODYDoctor Bonar, once remarked that he could tell when a Christian was growing. In proportion to his growth in grace he would elevate his Master, talk less of what he was doing, and become smaller and smaller in his own esteem until, like the morning star, he faded away before the rising sun. Jonathan was willing to decrease that David might increase; and John the Baptist showed the same spirit of humility. ERWIN LUTZERMany sought John the Baptist’s baptism for blessings but not with a heart of repentance. … Read More >

The Promise Fulfilled
“Now Elisabeth’s full time came that she should be delivered; and she brought forth a son. And her neighbours and her cousins heard how the Lord had shewed great mercy upon her; and they rejoiced with her. And it came to pass, that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child; and they called him Zacharias, after the name of his father. And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John. And they said unto her, There is none of thy kindred that is called by this name. And they made signs to … Read More >

Christ's Endorsement Of John The Baptist
“And John calling unto him two of his disciples sent them to Jesus, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? When the men were come unto him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or look we for another? And in that same hour he cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind he gave sight. Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that … Read More >

The Sun Will Shine Again
Do not disbelieve, but believe. John 20:27 D.L. MOODYPeople say, “If I could only get rid of these doubts and fears, I think I would be ready to work.” Go to work and these doubts will disappear. There is work to be done. Life is short at the longest, so let us be about our Master’s business. While you are engaged in His work, these doubts will not assail you so much. I believe any Christian would have doubts in less than six months if he did nothing. ERWIN LUTZERWhen fears and doubts assail us, we are tempted … Read More >

Repentance and Baptism
Then Jerusalem and all Judea and all the region about the Jordan were going out to him, and they were baptized by him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins. Matthew 3:5–6 D.L. MOODYThink of the whole population going out into the wilderness to hear this wonderful open-air preacher, to be “baptized of him in Jordan, confessing their sins!” John was a preacher of repentance. Perhaps no one ever rang out the word “Repent!” like John the Baptist. Day after day, as he came out of the desert and stood on the banks of that famous river, you … Read More >

Heaven Appointed Witnesses
“There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.” —John 1:6 This man came to make the most important announcement ever made to Earth: the announcement of the fact that God is coming down to the earth, that the kingdom of heaven is to be established among men—it is to be an actual kingdom with a real king, this king to be the Messiah, King of the Jews, King of every nation,—God himself made manifest among men. We could not direct our attention to any man who could give us more light on our calling as members of … 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 >
