Visitors who want to walk where Jesus walked when visiting Israel discover that there are only a few such places. The city of Jerusalem has been destroyed and rebuilt so many times that the streets that Jesus walked on, for the most part, are 15 to 20 feet below the present surface.
But there are exceptions, and perhaps the most accessible is the first century steps that led into the temple during the time of Jesus. Mary and Joseph would have walked on these steps when they brought the baby Jesus to be blessed by Simeon, and here Jesus often …

Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live.” John 11:25
D.L. MOODYAt the Battle of Inkerman during the Crimean War, a soldier was just able to crawl to his tent after he was struck down. When found, he was lying upon his face, his open Bible before him, his hand glued fast to the page by his life-blood which covered it. When his hand was lifted, the letters of the printed page were clearly traced upon it, and with the everliving promise in and on …

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. John 14:12
D.L. MOODYI used to stumble over that verse, but the longer I live, the more I am convinced it is a greater thing to influence a man whose will is set against God, to have that will broken and brought into subjection to God’s will—or, in other words, it is a greater thing to have power over a living, sinning, God-hating man, than to …

Then he touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be done to you.” Matthew 9:29
D.L. MOODYI remember a man telling me he preached for a number of years without any result. He used to say to his wife as they went to church, that he knew the people would not believe anything he said; and there was no blessing. At last, he saw his error; he asked God to help him and took courage, and then the blessing came. “According to your faith be it unto you.” This man had expected nothing, and he got …

I have said all these things to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues. Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. John 16:1–2
D.L. MOODYA man said to me some time ago: “Mr. Moody, now that I am converted, have I to give up the world?” “No,” said I, “you haven’t to give up the world. If you give a good ringing testimony for the Son of God, the world will give you up pretty quick; they won’t want you.”

Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. John 12:24
D.L. MOODYTake a little black flower seed and sow it; after it has been planted some time, dig it up. If it is whole, you know that it has no life; but if it has begun to decay, you know that life and fruitfulness will follow. There will be a resurrected life; and out of that little black seed will come a beautiful, fragrant flower. Here is a disgusting …

Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor, for we are members one of another. Ephesians 4:25
D.L. MOODYWe have got nowadays so that we divide lies into white lies and black lies, society lies, business lies, and so on. The Word of God knows no such letting down of the standard. A lie is a lie, no matter what are the circumstances under which it is uttered, or by whom. I have heard that in Siam, they sew up the mouth of a confirmed liar. I am afraid if that …

Jesus answered him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3
D.L. MOODYThe only way to get into the kingdom of God is to be “born” into it. The law of this country requires that the president should be born in the country. When foreigners come to our shores, they have no right to complain against such a law, which forbids them from ever becoming president. Now, has not God a right to make a law that all those who become heirs of eternal life must be …

Take heart, my son; your sins are forgiven. Matthew 9:2
D.L. MOODYThat was more than his friends expected; they only thought of his body being made whole. So, let us bring our friends to Christ, and we shall get more than we expect. The Lord met this man’s deepest need first. It may be his sins had brought on the palsy, so the Lord forgave the man’s sin first of all.
ERWIN LUTZERJesus crossed the Sea of Galilee and upon His arrival in Nazareth, He was met by people carrying a paralytic. They expected only physical healing, but …

That they should seek God, and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us. Acts 17:27
D.L. MOODYPhilosophers are agreed that even the most primitive races of mankind reach out beyond the world of matter to a superior being. It is as natural for man to feel after God as it is for the ivy to feel after support. Hunger and thirst drive him to seek for food, and there is a hunger of the soul that needs satisfying, too. Man does not need to be commanded …
