Christ's commission to speak comfort to the weary: his patient suffering of indignities, and confidence in God's help. An exhortation to trust in God, and not in human resources. Isaiah 50 Preface - Satan bound for a thousand years. The first resurrection. Satan gain let loose gathereth Gog and Magog to battle, who are devoured with fire. The devil cast into the lake of fire and brimstone. The general resurrection, and last judgment. Revelation 20 Daily Light - Morning Thou shalt put the mercy seat above upon the ark...and there I will meet with thee. The way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest. - Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom. Having...brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh...let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. - Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. - Through him we both have access by one Spirit unto the Father. Ex. 25.21,22; He. 9.8; Mt. 27.50-51 He. 10.19-20,22; He. 4.16 Ro. 3.24-25; Eph. 2.18 Daily Light - Evening Faith as a grain of mustard seed. Barak said unto (Deborah), if thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go... God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan. - And Gideon said unto God, if thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said...let me prove, I pray thee... And God did so. Thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. - Who hath despised the day of small things? We are bound to thank God always for you, brethren, as it is meet, because that your faith groweth exceedingly. - Lord, Increase our faith. - I will be as the dew unto Israel: he shall grow as the lily, and cast forth his roots as Lebanon. His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon. Mt. 17.20; Judg. 4.8,23; Judg. 6.36,39,40 Rev. 3.8; Zech. 4.10 2 Th. 1.3; Lu. 17.5; Hos. 14.5-6 A Puritans Catechism Q 19 - Did God leave all mankind to perish in the state of sin and misery? A - God, having out of his good pleasure from all eternity, elected some to everlasting life, did enter into a covenant of grace to deliver them out of the state of sin and misery, and to bring them into a state of salvation by a Redeemer. The 1689 Baptist Confession of Faith Of Sanctification Chapter 13 PARAGRAPH 1 They who are united to Christ, effectually called, and regenerated, having a new heart and a new spirit created in them through the virtue of Christ's death and resurrection, are also farther sanctified, really and personally, through the same virtue, by His Word and Spirit dwelling in them; the dominion of the whole body of sin is destroyed, and the several lusts thereof are more and more weakened and mortified, and they more and more quickened and strengthened in all saving graces, to the practice of all true holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord.
Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things. - 2 Corinthians 6 v 10 The groans and triumphal song of a believer are not far separated, as you may see in Paul (Romans 7 vs 24-25): O' wretched man,' and 'I thank God,' all in one breath! David felt the same (see Psalm 73). At one verse he feels himself a fool and a beast in the sight of a holy God, and in the very next verses he is cleaving to Christ with a song of unspeakable joy (vs. 22-24). Ah! there is a sweet mystery here - bitter herbs along with our passover Lamb. It is sweet to see ourselves infinitely vile, that we may look to Jehovah our Righteousness, as all our way to the Father.
