“They crucified Him” (John 19:18) Men did by their wicked hands crucify Him, the Lord Jesus Christ, and they did so by God’s determinate counsel and foreknowledge (Acts 2:23). They brought guilt upon themselves in crucifying Him, but here are five things that He did in His crucifixion. (1)     In His crucifixion, He crushed the head of Satan. He was manifested…

Therefore whenever thou who believest in Jesus, dost hear the law in its thundering and lightening fits, as if it would burn up heaven and earth; then say thou, I am freed from this law, these thunderings have nothing to do with my soul; nay even this law, while it thus thunders and roareth, it doth allow and approve of my righteousness.…

I know whom I have believed. . . (2 Timothy 1:12) Many people struggle with what they believe. They spend much time trying to believe in some system or some cause. They are searching for something to fill the empty void deep inside their heart. But the truth is that peace is only found in a person. Peace will not be found…

For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye. (Ezekiel 18:32) The Lord in this chapter declares that all souls are his and that He will judge all men with righteous judgment. The just man shall live, but the sinner shall die. This surely leaves all men by nature…

“He opened their minds—so they could understand the Scriptures.” Luke 24:45 When God opens the eyes of our understanding, we begin to see everything around us to be just as the Scripture has described them. Then, and not until then, we perceive, that what we read in the Bible concerning the horrid evil of sin, the vileness of our fallen nature, the…

All of God’s saints have need of comfort. This is because we are born again of the Spirit, and have a righteous nature that hates sin. Yet in each of us still dwells that old man of sin which Paul calls “the body of this death.” Thus we are very troubled by our sin. We are at constant warfare with our own…

May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; (Ephesians 3:18) His Love for us is so broad that is supports all the elect of all time (Matt.16:18). The length of His love stretches from eternity to eternity and there are no gaps of love in time (Jeremiah 31:3). The Love of God is…

The Gospel is sent from Heaven, proclaimed on earth, heard by sinners, and gladly embraced by those who are ordained to eternal life. The Gospel informs us that eternal redemption is obtained, a way into the holiest opened, and all condemnation removed from those who believe in Jesus. The gospel reveals . . . a Savior, in whom we must trust; a Sovereign, whom we must obey; a Priest, on…

“I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me.” (John 6:38) We all recognize that these are the words of the Lord Jesus Christ. They concern His Father’s will in sending Him into this world. He then follows by telling us three things that the Father’s will includes and that He came…

At that moment the Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. (Luke 22:61) There was a deep meaning in that look. It was a sermon which Peter never forgot. The love of Christ toward His people is a deep well which has no bottom! Let us never measure it by comparison with any kind of love of man or woman. It exceeds all other love—as far as the sun exceeds the…
