    Chapter 18 Ideal Subjects of the Kingdom and Discipline in the Church By H A Ironside Two things are brought into juxtaposition in this chapter: the kingdom in its spiritual aspect and the church yet to be brought into existence by the Lord after His death and resurrection, but seen here…

    Chapter 17 The Glory of the Kingdom By H A Ironside It seems a great pity, as intimated in our closing remarks in the previous chapter, that its final verse was not made the opening one of this seventeenth chapter. In the corresponding accounts in both Mark and Luke, our Lord’s…

    Chapter 15 The King Denounces Hypocrisy By H A Ironside We read next of the King’s rebuke of many who were opposed to His claims as Lord and the kingdom He announced. There was a remnant whose hearts were opened to the truth and who gladly received our Lord as the…

    Chapter 11 The Grace of the King By H A Ironside As our Lord continued His gracious ministry, it became increasingly evident that by far the great majority of Israel, the leaders and the people generally, were in no mood to receive His message and to acknowledge Him as the Anointed…

    Chapter 10 The King’s Couriers By H A Ironside In order to understand rightly the calling and mission of the Twelve prior to our Lord’s crucifixion, we need to bear in mind that the Lord Jesus Christ was presenting Himself to Israel as their promised King. God was dealing with them…

    Chapter 9 The King Continues to Manifest His Power and Grace By H A Ironside We have the credentials of the King set forth throughout both this and the preceding chapter, as noticed already. His works of power attested His messianic claims. All His miracles were wrought, not for self-glorification, however,…

    Chapter 8 The Works of the King By H A Ironside Having listened to the instruction of the King as He proclaimed the laws of His kingdom, we are now called upon to consider His works. We may think of these as His royal credentials, proving Him to be in very…

    Chapter 7 The Principles of the Kingdom Part 3 By H A Ironside As we continue our study of the instruction given by Jesus Christ to His disciples on the Mount, let us remind ourselves again that we have to do here, not with the gospel for the unregenerate, but with…

    Chapter 4 The Testing of the King By H A Ironside Before the Lord Jesus presented Himself to Israel as the promised King, He must needs pass through a period of testing, which He did for forty days. He met Satan, the strong man armed, and bound him before He began…

    Chapter 3 The Forerunner and the Anointing of the King By H A Ironside Our Lord has told us that of those born of women none was greater than John the Baptist. His greatness consisted not simply in his personal character—though he stands out preeminently as a devoted man of God,…

    Chapter 1 The Genealogy and Birth of the King By H A Ironside The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham.” Matthew begins with the genealogy of our Lord from Abraham to Joseph. But this was not the blood-line. It was the royal…
