A Lesson On Devotion
The story in Luke 7:36–50 which we are now to consider, is quite unique in all the four Gospels. There is one very much like it which is recounted by Matthew and Mark which took place much later in the ministry of our Lord, when a woman poured a box of precious ointment upon His head, and then broke the box. In John 11 she is identified as Mary of Bethany. Here we meet in this chapter two people—Simon a Pharisee, and a woman which is called a sinner, as Luke describes her. They are in the same house, but … Read More >

Love That Passeth Knowledge
To know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge.—Ephesians 3:19 If I could only make men understand the real meaning of the words of the apostle John, “God is love,” I would take that single text, and go up and down the world proclaiming this glorious truth. If you can convince a man that you love him, you have won his heart. If we really make people believe that God loves them, how we should find them crowding into the kingdom of heaven! The trouble is that men think God hates them; and so they are all the time … Read More >

Seven Reasons Why Jesus Died
It is surprising that after nineteen hundred years of Gospel light and testimony, one often finds professing Christians who manifest great ignorance in regard to the most important fundamental truths of the Word of God. I do not know how many times I have had people come to me—people who had faith in Christ—and put the question in all seriousness, “Just why did Christ have to die in order that we might be saved?” I want to show from the Scripture seven very clear, definite reasons for which Jesus died. The first Scripture is found in 1 Corinthians 15. In … Read More >

A Young Man Whom Jesus Loved
Address delivered at The Moody Church by A.T. Robertson, D.D. “And when he was gone forth into the way there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked, Good Master, What shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? “Then Jesus beholding him, loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest; go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross and follow me. “And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved; for he had great possessions.”—Mark … Read More >

God's Friendship
There are many ties that come down from God like golden threads, and twine themselves about us to bind us to Him. He is our Creator, Preserver, Redeemer, Ruler, Father, Judge, and bears many other relationships; but there is one tie amid them all that is somewhat different from all the others, and that is friendship. God is our Friend, and we can, through sanctifying grace and by walking in the steps of Abraham, become the real friends of God. More Than Pardon The friendship of God is something more than pardon, or heart purity, or the baptism with the … Read More >

The Greatest Thing In The World
“That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.”—Ephesians 3:17–19 This is part of the apostle’s prayer for the church at Ephesus. I dwell particularly on this “love that passeth knowledge.” You will know that Paul was the apostle of faith; love was not his strong point. It was John who was the apostle of love. But in his Epistle to the … Read More >

A Sweet Savour Unto God
(Helpful to Sunday School Lesson of March 7, 1920, 1 John 4:7–21) “God is love.” We could also say “God is law”; for in another place in the Scripture God says, “Love is the fulfilling of the law.” Now the law was holy and was placed before men that they might see themselves as God sees them. It was as if a shabby tramp suddenly came upon the picture of a real clean and well-dressed man, and recognized the awful chasm between himself and this gentleman. God placed the law that men might see the chasm between the natural man … Read More >

Get Right With God
“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.”—2 Corinthians 5:20 I believe it is upon our nation’s reception to that word, that word from Heaven, that voice which speaks with authority from the Throne, that beseeching, pleading, earnest supplication and prayer that comes from the place of all authority and power, “Be ye reconciled to God,”that depends our future in this generation and for all time. Indeed, without it, any promise of any politician is merely a straw in the … Read More >

The Message Of The Cross
“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”—1 Corinthians 1:18 The word of the Cross is to them that are going to perdition an absurdity, but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. I want to speak to you about the message of the Cross. Do not think that those words were spoken by a man at random, under the strain of irritating circumstances. Paul always wrote his epistles with clearness of expression and with deep conviction, without any … Read More >

The Tears Of Christ
Sermon delivered at the Moody Tabernacle by Evangelist C.P. Meeker. My text tonight is three verses of Scripture. They are taken from various parts of the New Testament. These three verses refer to the way the Lord Jesus Christ was affected as he moved among men. They have to do with the tears of Christ. That does not mean that I am going to preach a sermon tonight calculated to cause you to weep. I do trust there may be many that will weep over their sin, but I want tonight as God may enable me, to give you some … Read More >
