Jeremiah, wishing it to be true, appealeth to the event. Hananiah breaketh the yoke off Jeremiah's neck. Jeremiah under the type of an iron yoke confirmeth the prophecy of the subjection of the nations to the king of Babylon. He foretelleth Hananiah's death. Jeremiah 28 Preface - The chief priests and scribes conspire against Christ. A woman poureth precious ointment on his head. Judas covenanteth to betray him. Christ eateth the passover, and sheweth that one of his disciples should betray him: he instituteth his last supper: foretelleth the desertion of all his disciples, and Peter's denial of him: his agony and prayer in the garden. He is betrayed by Judas, and seized: his disciples flee: he is carried before the council, falsely accused, examined, pronounced guilty, and treated with indignity. Peter's denial, and repentance. Mark 14 Daily Light - Morning The fruit of the Spirit is....faith. By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. - Without faith it is impossible to please him. - He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. - Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. Whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. - Faith....worketh by love. - Faith without works is dead. We walk by faith, not by sight. - I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Whom havin gnot seen, yet love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls. Ga. 5.22; Eph. 2.8; He. 11.6; Jn. 3.18; Mk. 9.24 1 Jn. 2.5; Ga. 5.6; Jas. 2.20 2 Co. 5.7; Ga. 2.20; 1 Pe. 1.8-9 Daily Light - Evening The Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him. - The LORD is gracious and full of compassion....he will ever be mindful of his covenant. He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. - As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: so the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him. His compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. Jesus went forth, and saw a great multitude, and was moved with compassion toward them, and he healed their sick. - The same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows Jas. 5.11; Ps. 103.13; Ps. 111.4,5 Ps. 121.3-4; Deu. 32.11-12 Lam. 3.22-23 Mt. 14.14; He. 13.8 Mt. 10.29-31 A Puritans Catechism Q 15 - Did all mankind fall in Adam's first transgression? A - The covenant being made with Adam, not only for himself, but for his posterity; all mankind, descending from him by ordinary generation, sinned in him, and fell with him, in his first transgression. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 10 This number and order of offices is necessary; for in respect of our ignorance, we stand in need of His prophetical office;44 and in respect of our alienation from God, and imperfection of the best of our services, we need His priestly office to reconcile us and present us acceptable unto God; 45 and in respect to our averseness and utter inability to return to God, and for our rescue and security from our spiritual adversaries, we need His kingly office to convince, subdue, draw, uphold, deliver, and preserve us to His heavenly kingdom. 46 44 John 1:18 45 Col. 1:21; Gal. 5:17 46 John 16:8; Ps. 110:3; Luke 1:74–75 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings The wonderful grace of Christ Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us. Titus 3 v 5 When the Holy Spirit leads a man to the cross, his heart there breaks from seeking salvation by his own righteousness. All his burden of performance and contrivances drops. First, the work of Christ appears so perfect, - the wisdom of God and the power of God - divine righteousness. 'I wonder that I should ever think of any other way of salvation. If I could have been saved by my own duties, my whole soul would now have refused it. I wonder that all the world did not see and comply with this way of salvation by the righteousness of Christ.' (Brainerd) Second, the grace of Christ appears so wonderful. That all this righteousness should be free to such a sinner! That I son long neglected, despised, hated it, put mountains between, and yet that He has come over the mountains! 'That thou mayest remember and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done' (Ezekiel 16 v. 63). Have you this broken heart - broken within sight of the cross? It is not a look into your own heart, or the heart of hell, but into the heart of Christ, that breaks the heart. Oh, pray for this broken heart! Boasting is excluded. To Him be glory. Worthy is the Lamb! All the struggles of a self-righteous soul are to put the crown on your own head instead of at the feet of Jesus.
