Rachel mourning is comforted. Ephraim repenting is received into favour. The miracle of Christ's birth promised as a means of blessing to Judah. God's care for his church. Every man shall answer for his own sin only. The new covenant with Israel. The stability of God's favour to them. The extent of the city when it shall be built. Jeremiah 30-31 Preface - Christ's resurrection is declared by angels to the two Marys and Salome. Christ himself appeareth to Mary Magdalene; to two of his disciples going into the country; and to the eleven; whom he commissioneth to preach the gospel to all the world: his ascension into heaven; the gospel is preached every where, the Lord confirming the word with signs. Mark 16 Daily Light - Morning His mercy is on them that fear Him. Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou has laid up for them that fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men! Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. If ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. - The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him: he also will hear their cry, and will save them. Because thine heart was tender, and thou hast humbled thyself before the LORD...and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before me; I also have heard thee, saith the LORD. - To this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word. - The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Lu. 1.50; Ps. 31.19-20 1 Pe. 1.17; Ps. 145.18-19 2 Ki. 22.19; Isa. 66.2; Ps. 34.18 Daily Light - Evening Them that honour me I will honour. Whosoever....shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. - He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer....be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life. Our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. - Praise and honour and glory a tthe appearing of Jesus Christ. 1 Sa. 2.30; Mt. 10.32 Mt. 10.37-39 Jas. 1.12 Rev. 2.10 2 Co. 4.17; 1 Pe. 1.7 A Puritans Catechism Q 17 - Wherein consists the sinfulness of that state whereinto man fell? A - The sinfulness of that state whereinto man fell consists in the guilt of Adam's first sin, the want of original righteousness, and the corruption of his whole nature, which is commonly called original sin, together with all actual transgressions which proceed from it. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Free Will Chapter 9 PARAGRAPH 2 Man, in his state of innocency, had freedom and power to will and to do that which was good and well-pleasing to God, (2) but yet was unstable, so that he might fall from it. (3) 2 Eccles. 7:29 3 Gen. 3:6 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings Cry for the wind Awake, O north wind; and come thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Song of Solomon 4 v 16 These spices do not naturally grow in gardens. Even in the East there never was such a display as this. So the fragrant graces of the Spirit are not natural to the heart. They are brought from a far country. They must be carefully watched. They need the stream and the gentle zephyr. Oh, I fear most of you should hang your heads when Christ begins to speak of fragrant spices in your heart! Where are thy? Are there not talkative, forward Christians? Are there not self seeking Christians? Are there not proud praying Christians? Are there not idle, bad working Christians? Lord, where are the spices. Verily, Christ is a bundle of myrrh. Oh to be like Him! Oh that every flower and fruit would grow! They must come from above. Many there are of whom one is forced to say, 'Well, they may be Christians; but I would not like to be next to them in heaven!' Cry for the wind!
